Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Parker Romo

Monday, September 15, 3:12 PM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater had his second straight perfect game in a 30-10 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Prater hit all three of his field goals, including a 52-yarder, and went 3-for-3 on extra points. Filling in for the injured Tyler Bass (groin), the 41-year-old Prater has opened the season 6-for-6 on field goals and five out of five on PATs. Despite that, the two-time Pro Bowler remains available in 88% of Yahoo leagues in advance of a Thursday matchup with the winless Miami Dolphins. They've already allowed 66 points in two games, and the Bills have scored 71, meaning Prater should be in line for another productive game in Week 3. He looks like an enticing option for fantasy managers who need a kicker.

The Atlanta Falcons are elevating kicker Parker Romo from their practice squad, and Romo will serve as the team's kicker in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings. Atlanta signed Romo to a practice squad deal after veteran kicker Younghoe Koo missed a potential game-tying field goal attempt in the team's Week 1 loss. Romo kicked in four games for the Vikings last season, making 11 of 12 field goal attempts and seven of eight extra-point tries. He profiles outside of the top-12 fantasy kickers for Week 2.
