Who Should I Start? Jason Sanders or Joey Slye

Saturday, November 23, 5:22 PM

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been one of the most productive fantasy options at his position lately, and he'll look to extend his hot streak during Week 12 versus the New England Patriots. Sanders has posted double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back games and three of his last four contests. Over the last two weeks, he has gone 6-for-6 on extra points and 5-for-5 on field goals, including two from beyond 50 yards. This week, the 29-year-old faces a Patriots defense that has been somewhat stingy against kickers but is also quite capable of surrendering points. Thus, Sanders ranks just inside the top 12 for this week. He's worth starting in leagues with at least 12 teams, and he can even be considered in 10-team formats.

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye should be viewed as a dependable top-10 fantasy option heading into Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. The veteran has posted inconsistent results this season, but he's coming off a pair of strong showings over which he has gone 7-for-7 on field goals and 2-for-3 on extra points. Slye has been the overall K2 during that two-game span, and although it's a small sample size, fantasy managers should feel good about his productivity going forward. Boosting his value is a favorable matchup against the Dolphins, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2024. Miami allows a league-high 2.4 field goals per game, and they're also the only team to surrender an average of at least one field goal per game from beyond 50 yards. Managers should feel good about Slye's chances of kicking far and often with significant success.
