Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Cairo Santos

Saturday, December 21, 9:04 AM

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (knee) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran kicker had his 21-day practice window opened earlier this week, but the Cardinals have determined he's not quite ready to return from injured reserve yet. In the meantime, Chad Ryland will continue to handle kicking duties for Arizona. Through 10 games this year, he has gone 18-for-18 on extra points and 22-for-26 on field goals.

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos hasn't made a field goal in two straight weeks, but is hopeful to bounce back in Week 15. Santos has made three extra point attempts and has zero field goal attempts in each of the last two games. The Bears having been playing from behind by big scores lately which has limited the opportunities for Santos. It doesn't look like it's going to get easier for the Bears as they play a tough Minnesota Vikings squad in Week 15. Santos hasn't given fantasy managers any reason to trust him heading into important fantasy playoff games this weekend.
