Who Should I Start? Matt Gay or Tyler Bass

Saturday, October 25, 6:47 PM

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay (back) is currently considered questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Gay is a late addition to the injury report as he wasn't on there until Saturday. The Commanders aren't currently rostering another kicker, so they'd need to sign one before Monday's game. The team will likely wait and see how Gay feels on Sunday before making a decision. Fantasy managers who have Gay rostered should probably get another kicker just in case he's unable to play.

While Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott remained non-committal on whether kicker Tyler Bass (groin, hip) would be able to play this season, he did say that he is "heading in the right direction," according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Bass remains on Injured Reserve, and the Bills didn't feel comfortable opening his 21-day practice window this week, which means he will not be ready to return for Monday night's contest in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Bills probably aren't in any rush to bring the 28-year-old Bass back, with veteran Matt Prater being a reliable fill-in through the first five weeks of 2025. Prater has gone 10-for-15 on his field-goal chances while making all 15 of his extra-point opportunities for the 4-1 Bills. When/if Bass is fully healthy and ready to resume kicking, he should take back over as Buffalo's starting placekicker.
