Who Should I Start? Joey Slye or Riley Patterson

Tennessee Titans kicker Joey Slye (calf) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 6 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a calf injury, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Slye leads the league in both field goal attempts (17) and makes (13 through five weeks so far this season. With Slye sidelined, Tennessee will reportedly let veteran Matthew Wright handle the kicking duties in Week 6. Wright has appeared in 29 games across five NFL seasons for six different teams. He's made 55 out of 63 (87.3%) of his career field goal attempts. Wright should be avoided by fantasy managers in Week 6 against Las Vegas.

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson will continue to fill in for Jason Sanders (hip) as he has all season, and this week, he's in a good kicking matchup against the Saints as the Dolphins return from their bye week. Patterson has connected on 17 of his 19 field goal attempts and 23 of his 24 extra points on the year, although he did miss his only attempt from 50+ yards. Before the bye week, he made all three of his field goals in Madrid, and he'll return to action in Week 13 at Hard Rock Stadium this week. In the RotoBaller Week 13 rankings, he checks in as the No. 18 kicker, meaning he can be used in deep leagues but is probably not the strongest available option in standard-sized leagues, during this week with no teams on a bye week.
