Who Should I Start? Justin Tucker or Cairo Santos

Saturday, November 25, 2:09 PM

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker turned in another solid game in Week 11 as he made both of his field goals from 25 and 47 yards out while converting on all four extra-point attempts too. In Week 12, the Ravens take on the Los Angeles Chargers and that means a lot more scoring opportunities against a much weaker defensive unit than they've played over the last few weeks. Tucker is either going to get plenty of extra point work or be in field goal range almost all game long. Either way, Tucker remains an automatic start at kicker.

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos had over 91% of his field goal attempts last season. The veteran kicker only missed two field goals in 2022. However, he did miss five extra-point attempts. Santos returned for his fourth consecutive year with the Bears this season despite some minor struggles last year. Unfortunately, the Chicago kicker has limited fantasy value in Week 1. Last year, he averaged only 6.1 fantasy points per game, making him the 27th-highest-scoring kicker. More importantly, he faces the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Santos scored only 11 fantasy points in the two matchups against the NFC North rivals last season. Fantasy players can find a better streaming option on the waiver wire than Santos.
