Who Should I Start? Matt Gay or Blake Grupe

Wednesday, September 10, 5:43 PM

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay did not attempt a field goal in their 21-6 Week 1 against the Giants, but converted all three extra points. Gay likely would have had a field goal opportunity at the end of the first half, but Washington was called for an intentional grounding penalty with a handful of seconds left and no timeouts left, leaving the clock to run out. The offense had other sloppy moments that ended potential scoring drives early, but still moved the ball at will. In a projected shootout on Thursday night in Green Bay, Gay should be fired up as one of the top kicker options in Week 2.

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe missed his only field goal attempt from 40 yards in the 26-21 loss to the 49ers in Week 2. He is now 2-for-4 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points on the season. Grupe looks to rebound against the Seahawks, who allowed Chris Boswell to convert three field goals from 40+ yards last week. Despite the matchup, Grupe can remain off fantasy radars this week.
