Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Rodrigo Blankenship

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is poised to continue his solid 2025 fantasy campaign in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Myers delivered his worst fantasy finish of the season in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thanks to a missed field goal. The Seahawks proceeded to score only touchdowns from that point, which lowered Myers' ceiling. Still, the Seahawks' offense is playing fantastic football right now. They are constantly in scoring positions, and they are not turning the ball over very often. That combination allows Myers to rack up fantasy points. The Jaguars boast a solid defense, but it is nothing the Seahawks cannot handle. As such, Myers should deliver once again for fantasy. Start him with confidence.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived kicker Rodrigo Blankenship on Monday. Blankenship lost the kicking battle to Chase McLaughlin in training camp this summer and will now look to latch on with another team before the start of the 2023 regular season. The 26-year-old spent last year with the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals, going 4-for-5 on his field-goal tries and 4-for-5 on extra points in just three total games. As long as Tampa doesn't bring in more competition for McLaughlin to close out the preseason, he should enter Week 1 as the team's starting kicker. McLaughlin, 27, made 83.3 percent of his 36 field-goal attempts and made all 21 of his extra-point tries in 16 games with the Indianapolis Colts in 2022. The kicking position in Tampa won't be as exciting in fantasy now that Tom Brady isn't running the offense in 2023.
