Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Matthew Wright

Friday, October 10, 9:23 AM

Buffalo Bills veteran kicker Matt Prater continues to do excellent work filling in for Tyler Bass (hip/groin) and is now 10-for-11 on his field goal attempts and 15-for-15 on extra points this season. In Week 6, Prater will remain a strong fantasy kicking option, as the Falcons allow the fourth most fantasy points to kickers on the season. At this point, it's unclear if Prater will keep his job or not once Bass returns, but fantasy fanagers needing to stream a kicker in Week 6 should look Prater's way, as the matchup sets up nicely in a game that is expected to have some points, with an over/under of 50 points on most sportsbooks.

With kicker Joey Slye (calf) officially out for Week 6 due to a calf injury, the Tennessee Titans will turn to Matthew Wright to handle the kicking duties on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Wright has appeared in 29 games across five NFL seasons for six different teams, making 55 out of 63 (87.3%) of his career field goal attempts. Wright appeared in five games spread across three teams in 2024, including two with Tennessee. He made 15 out of 16 field goal attempts last year, although his longest make was from just 50 yards out. Wright profiles as a kicker for fantasy managers to avoid in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
