Who Should I Start? Joey Slye or Will Reichard

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.

Will Reichard of the Minnesota Vikings should be considered one of the top fantasy kickers when his team takes on the Chicago Bears in Week 11. A top-10 overall fantasy kicker through the halfway point of the NFL season, Reichard has converted all 17 of his extra points and 18 of 20 field goals, including six of them from beyond 50 yards. The Bears are allowing the fourth-highest yards per carry average and surrendering passing touchdowns at the third-highest rate in the league, which could give an erratic Vikings offense an opportunity for a bounce-back week. In an indoor venue against a below-average defense, Reichard is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 4 kicker for Week 11.
