Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Matt Gay

Saturday, September 16, 3:45 AM

Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater as he lines up against the New York Giants in this week's matchup. In Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, Prater nailed a 54-yarder to give his team the lead they later relinquished. In Week 2, the Cardinals face off against the New York Giants, who just gave up two field goal attempts and five extra points against Dallas. His powerful kicks, combined with a Cardinals' offense that may have trouble moving the ball, makes him an above-average fantasy option for Week 2.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay hit all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 29-year-old didn't see the first field-goal try with his new team in his Indianapolis debut, but he did his job when called upon Sunday. Gay has been an accurate kicker for his career, burying 86-of-94 FGs (91.5%) since 2020. But fantasy managers may be able to find a stronger choice on waiver wires, as the former Pro Bowler's offense may not be the most reliable unit in 2023. Gay will kick indoors during Week 2's date with the division-rival Houston Texans, but it projects as a low-scoring affair.
