Who Should I Start? Matt Gay or Cam Little

The Washington Commanders announced on Monday that kicker Matt Gay (back) has been downgraded to out for the Week 8 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. In a corresponding move, the team signed Matthew Wright to the active 53-man roster from the practice squad, and he will serve as their placekicker in Kansas City. The team also released wide receiver Robbie Chosen from the practice squad. It's unclear if Gay's back injury is serious enough to keep him out for another game in Week 9 when the team squares off against the Seattle Seahawks. Wright, who is in his sixth season in the NFL, played in one game for the Tennessee Titans this year, making his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try. He is a career 87.5% field-goal kicker in his 30 NFL games with six different teams. Wright should be avoided in DFS lineups in a tough road matchup with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) sidelined.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little has a chance for a solid day in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. In what should be a close matchup between two 4-2 teams, Little should have opportunities in what could be a tough game overall in London. The Jaguars' offense is good enough to move the ball well, while the Rams' defense is good enough to make plenty of defensive stops, which could mean a recipe for plenty of field goal opportunities. Little has been reliable from an accuracy and distance standpoint, so fantasy managers should feel fine starting Little in Week 7.
