Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Spencer Shrader

Friday, October 17, 8:44 PM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is in line for another solid fantasy outing against the Houston Texans in Week 7. Myers is currently the K3 in fantasy. He has delivered five games with at least eight fantasy points this season. The Seahawks' offense has played very well in 2025, which has left Myers in plenty of scoring positions this season. The Texans boast one of the elite defenses in the NFL this year. They may cap the Seahawks' usual offensive output. However, Seattle should still be able to move the ball on this team, which will at least result in field goal attempts. Given the matchup, Myers is not as strong a play as he usually is, but he is still a starting option for fantasy in Week 7. If you need to plug in an option at kicker this week, do not be afraid of Myers, who is available in a lot of leagues.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that kicker Spencer Shrader (knee) tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and will miss the rest of the season, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Shrader was injured when a defender crashed into his knee following a kick on Sunday. It's a tough break for the 26-year-old and the 4-1 Colts, as Shrader had missed just one of his 14 field-goal tries while making all 14 of his extra-point attempts in five games before his season-ending injury. With no current kicker other than Shrader on the active roster or practice squad, the Colts will be working out free-agent kickers this week as they head into a Week 6 meeting with the visiting Arizona Cardinals. Fantasy managers who had been using Shrader at the position will have to hit the waiver wire for a replacement.
