Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Dustin Hopkins

Saturday, December 2, 4:25 AM

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater could be a steaming option heading into Week 13. With the re-emergence of quarterback Kyler Murray leading the Arizona passing game, Prater has become a viable fantasy option once again. However, In Week 12, Prater put up a goose egg, missing his only field goal attempt from 56 yards out. In his defense, the Cardinals' offense was anemic and did not call on him for an extra point in the entire game. In other words, fantasy managers should throw Week 12 out the window, as Prater has kicked a solid 19 field goals on the year. The veteran kicker has missed just four kicks all season and remains a decent option, despite the lack of consistency from the Arizona offense. Managers in need of kicking help should consider him for Week 13.

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins made both of his field goals in a Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. Hopkins has been a reliable kicker for the Browns in 2023 as he's hit 28 of his 31 attempts, including seven FGs from 50+ yards out. He will now take on the Los Angeles Rams on the road in Week 13. The Rams have been generous to opposing kickers this season as they are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. There are simply too many question marks surrounding the Cleveland offense with Joe Flacco making his first start for the team this week, leaving Hopkins as a low-end fantasy option in Week 13.
