Who Should I Start? Joey Slye or Tyler Bass

Saturday, September 20, 11:18 AM

Tennessee Titans kicker Joey Slye has been on fire to start the 2025 season, hitting all eight of his field-goal attempts and averaging 16 fantasy points per game. Even with Tennessee's offensive and defensive struggles, Slye has been one of the most reliable fantasy options at the position, ranking third in fantasy. Week 3 presents a tougher challenge against the Indianapolis Colts, who have yet to allow a field goal this season. With the Titans entering as five-point underdogs, there's a chance this matchup turns into more of a "go-for-it" game script rather than relying on field goals. Slye still profiles as a starting kicker in Week 3, but managers should be aware of the added risk tied to Tennessee's offensive inconsistencies.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that kicker Tyler Bass (groin, hip) is "moving in the right direction," but the team is unsure when he will return from Injured Reserve, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Bass will have to miss at least one more game while on IR, but he'll be eligible to make his 2025 debut in Week 5 against the division-rival New England Patriots. Given the fact that there's still no timetable on the 28-year-old's return, it seems unlikely he'll play next week. The Bills have been using veteran Matt Prater with Bass sidelined. Prater was perfect in the first two weeks before missing one of his two field-goal attempts last Thursday night in the win over the Miami Dolphins. The 41-year-old will be a strong starting kicking option in fantasy lineups again in Week 4 in a matchup against the 0-3 New Orleans Saints.
