Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Eddy Piñeiro

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has been a victim of the offense's success at times this season. The team consistently moves the ball downfield and scores, but the high touchdown percentage has limited Prater's field goal opportunities. The kicker is fourth in the league with 25 extra points made, but ranks just 20th with 12 field goals. Prater's 85.7% conversion rate is adequate, but his lack of opportunities has frustrated fantasy owners throughout the season. Week 10 should bring another positive matchup where Prater maintains a high floor, but will unlikely emerge as a top-tier kicker this week. Despite the lack of high-end scoring, he does remain a steady play for teams in need of a five-to-ten point week from their kicker.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro had another productive outing in Week 9 against the New York Giants. Pineiro was good on all four of his extra point tries and hit field goals from 54 and 33 yards out in the 49ers' 34-24 win. Not one known for an overpowering leg, Pineiro is now 6-for-6 from beyond 50 yards. In Week 10, the 49ers host the Rams, who are allowing opponents 15.9 points per game and have given up the fewest touchdowns (11) in the league. That said, this game has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, which could make for a busy afternoon for Pineiro. Pineiro currently ranks third among kickers in fantasy points per game and should be started in Week 10.
