Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Saquon Barkley

Saturday, January 6, 6:24 AM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts and connected on both extra-point tries in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The field goal attempts were from 24, 42, and 43 yards away. Myers has been perfect on extra-point attempts all season and he now has a four-game streak without a missed field goal. Myers' 33 made field goals are tied for second-most and only two behind league leader Brandon Aubrey. He will try to extend his streak to a fifth game when the Seahawks play the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Cardinals have only seen four field goal attempts in the last three weeks but opponents have scored 13 touchdowns in that time, so Myers figures to be involved one way or another in the last game of the regular season. Fantasy managers still playing in Week 18 can feel secure in giving Myers one last start.

Free-agent running back Saquon Barkley is signing with the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million deal. The deal includes $26 million in guaranteed money and has an additional $9 million available in incentives. After a 2018 rookie season that saw the former Penn State star go for over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and 15 touchdowns, he has struggled to stay healthy over a chunk of the next five years of his career. He missed 21 games from 2019 to 2021. He bounced back in 2022 with 1,312 rushing yards but regressed to 962 yards in 14 games in 2023. However, the Eagles believe in him as a game-changing running back, as his average salary ($12.58 million) ranks only below Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and Jonathan Taylor. Although the Eagles' offensive line could take a hit after the retirement of Jason Kelce, Barkley should be playing behind the best offensive line of his career in 2024. He will have an immediate high-end RB1 upside in fantasy football.
