Who Should I Start? Matt Gay or Jake Moody

Monday, September 11, 12:45 AM

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay hit all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 29-year-old didn't see the first field-goal try with his new team in his Indianapolis debut, but he did his job when called upon Sunday. Gay has been an accurate kicker for his career, burying 86-of-94 FGs (91.5%) since 2020. But fantasy managers may be able to find a stronger choice on waiver wires, as the former Pro Bowler's offense may not be the most reliable unit in 2023. Gay will kick indoors during Week 2's date with the division-rival Houston Texans, but it projects as a low-scoring affair.

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will be worthy of fantasy lineups in Week 4 when the team hosts the Arizona Cardinals. Moody remained perfect for his career last week when he made field goals of 28, 21, and 36 yards and hit all three of his extra point chances. In total this year, he is nine-for-nine in field goals and nine-for-nine in extra points, good for second in total fantasy points among NFL kickers. Arizona's defense is seventh-worst in yards per game, so the excellent 49ers offense should spend significant time in Cardinals territory. With the forecast clear and a plus-matchup, fantasy managers should feel comfortable rolling into Week 4 with Moody.
