Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Jake Moody

Saturday, September 30, 2:13 AM

In Week 4, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater as he lines up against the San Francisco 49ers. Prater has been remarkable over the first three weeks of the season, boasting a total of 32 fantasy points. In Weeks one and three, Prater nailed 12 fantasy points against a pair of solid defenses in Washington and Dallas. His powerful kicks combined with a Cardinals' offense that will most likely have trouble moving the ball against a formidable San Francisco defense could result in a solid week for the veteran. As an above-average option at the kicking position, don't be afraid to start him.

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will be worthy of fantasy lineups in Week 4 when the team hosts the Arizona Cardinals. Moody remained perfect for his career last week when he made field goals of 28, 21, and 36 yards and hit all three of his extra point chances. In total this year, he is nine-for-nine in field goals and nine-for-nine in extra points, good for second in total fantasy points among NFL kickers. Arizona's defense is seventh-worst in yards per game, so the excellent 49ers offense should spend significant time in Cardinals territory. With the forecast clear and a plus-matchup, fantasy managers should feel comfortable rolling into Week 4 with Moody.
