Who Should I Start? Justin Tucker or Cameron Dicker

Saturday, October 4, 9:26 AM

Free agent kicker Justin Tucker (suspended) is working out Saturday at the University of Texas, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Tucker was suspended for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL season for violating the league's personal conduct policy, and he was subsequently released by the Baltimore Ravens this past offseason. He'll be eligible for reinstatement on November 11th, at which point he can sign with any team. Pelissero notes that Tucker "already has interest from several teams," which could mean that he signs sooner rather than later once he's eligible. Off-the-field issues aside, Tucker has been one of the best kickers in NFL history, nailing 90.2 percent of his field goals from 2012 through 2023. He proceeded to decline in 2024, making just 22 of 30 field goals, but teams are at least interested in seeing if the seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time First-Team All-Pro can return to peak form.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker experienced his first missed field goal of the season last Thursday but still went 3-for-4 on field goal attempts and made all four extra points. Dicker now faces a struggling Tennessee Titans defense that is expected to give up plenty of points. As 9.5-point favorites, the Chargers are likely to move the ball efficiently, creating multiple scoring opportunities. Given the team's high scoring projection, Dicker is poised to easily capitalize with several extra points and field goal attempts, even in a run-heavy game. RotoBaller ranks Dicker as K2 this week. He is a must-start in all formats.
