Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Justin Tucker

Saturday, November 15, 2:24 PM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater did not attempt a field goal in his team's surprising 13-point performance in their Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Prater has now gone two consecutive weeks without a made field goal, as he missed both of his attempts in Buffalo's Week 9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Still, the 41-year-old has generally been solid this season, knocking in 12 of 14 field goal attempts and 26 of 27 extra-point tries across nine games. He should have some chances to get back on the board when the Bills host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. Through 10 weeks, both Buffalo and Tampa Bay rank in the top 11 in the NFL in per-game scoring. One possible concern for Prater's fantasy outlook in Week 11 is the potential for windy weather in Buffalo, so managers should monitor the forecast on Sunday. Still, Prater profiles as a low-end starting kicker option in Week 11.

Free agent kicker Justin Tucker's 10-game suspension was officially lifted by the commissioner on Tuesday and remains eligible to sign with any team after being released by the Baltimore Ravens in May, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Tucker served a 10-game suspension for violating the NFL's conduct policy after multiple sexual misconduct allegations earlier this year. The 35-year-old was suspended in June after the league investigated the accusations. Tucker is eligible to sign with any team as he has been for months, but no team has shown any interest in doing so.
