Who Should I Start? Matt Gay or Ryan Fitzgerald

Saturday, November 15, 11:08 AM

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay hasn't been the most reliable fantasy option this season, failing to score double-digit points since his Week 4 performance against the Atlanta Falcons. Gay has struggled from long range, with three of his four misses coming on attempts of 50 yards or more. As Washington's offense has slowed down recently, the 31-year-old has only attempted one field goal over the past three games, excluding the Week 7 matchup that he missed due to a back injury. The Commanders travel to Madrid, Spain, in Week 11 to take on the Miami Dolphins in what could be a high-scoring game featuring two defenses that are allowing over 25 points per game this season. Gay could have more opportunities in this matchup and carries some streaming value.

Ryan Fitzgerald is a viable fill-in option if a deeper one is needed for Week 10. In last week's game against the Green Bay Packers, the Carolina kicker nailed his only field goal attempt and was 1-for-2 on extra point attempts. The rookie kicker has recorded an average of 7.2 fantasy points this season while hitting all of his field goal attempts in four of the last five weeks. Over the last four weeks, the Saints have allowed 10 points per game to the kicker position, which ranks 28th of all teams. New Orleans has also given up an average of 27 points to opposing teams, which is tied for 24th-most in the league this season. The matchup appears to be favorable for Fitzgerald, and while he is ranked just 18th at kicker by RotoBaller for Week 10, he could provide adequate fantasy totals.
