Who Should I Start? Joey Slye or Will Reichard

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.

Kicker Will Reichard is a fantasy risk in Week 5 while attached to a Minnesota Vikings offense hounded by injuries and facing the Cleveland Browns, who have one of the better defensive fronts in football. The Alabama product has been outstanding this season, going 8-for-8 in both field goals and extra points, but the Vikings are down to their third-string center, missing starting left guard Donovan Jackson (wrist), starting right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee), running back Aaron Jones (hamstring), and quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle). This week, they'll face a Cleveland run defense that allows fewer yards per rush than anyone in the league, which could severely limit Reichard's chances. Managers should look for another option.
