Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Rodrigo Blankenship

Friday, December 12, 4:56 PM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is in a great position to succeed in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. Myers is on a five-week streak of scoring at least 13 fantasy points. With Seattle's offense kicking a lot of field goals of late and finding themselves in scoring positions in general, Myers has had every opportunity to score for fantasy. Myers has been especially effective as a long-range kicker lately. He has made at least one kick of at least 40 yards in every game but one this year. That type of base is anchoring a stellar fantasy season. The Colts boast a solid defense, but even great defenses have been unable to keep Seattle out of scoring position this season. Start Myers with confidence once again in Week 15.

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.
