Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Wil Lutz

Friday, November 15, 4:45 PM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has been held in check in fantasy recently as the offense has struggled. He has been a relatively accurate kicker in 2024; however, his opportunities have been inconsistent. The Seahawks play the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco in Week 11. While the 49ers' defense is not as dominant as in recent years, it is still one of the better units in the NFL. The Seahawks will likely be playing catch up throughout most of the game, and the 49ers will likely limit Seattle's offensive output. As such, Myers is a risky play as a fantasy kicker this week. The hope is that the Seahawks fixed some offensive problems during their bye week in Week 10. However, you can likely find a better option than Myers on waivers for Week 11.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz only attempted one field goal in Week 11 on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Falcons but was able to stay busy with extra-point attempts in the 38-6 rout to finish as a top-12 fantasy kicker for the week. One week after missing both of his field-goal tries -- the potential game-winner was blocked at the end of regulation against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10 -- Lutz made his only field-goal attempt (from 45 yards out) and was successful on all five of his extra points against the Falcons. The 30-year-old has been one of the most accurate kickers in the league in 2024 (86.4% success rate) and ranks eighth among all kickers in total fantasy points after 11 weeks. When you add a rising Broncos offense under impressive rookie QB Bo Nix, Lutz's fantasy stock as a reliable streamer will continue in Week 12 against the floundering Las Vegas Raiders.
