Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Parker Romo

Saturday, October 4, 7:19 PM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater heads into Week 5 with a matchup that fantasy managers shouldn't overlook, even against a Patriots defense ranked ninth in scoring. While New England has been solid at limiting points, Buffalo's high-powered offense projects to move the ball consistently, creating multiple scoring opportunities for Prater. Currently tied for ninth among kickers in fantasy scoring, Prater has delivered a reliable combination of accuracy and leg strength all season. The Bills' ability to sustain drives and generate red-zone chances gives him a strong floor and a ceiling capable of producing top-tier weekly results. Fantasy managers in all formats can confidently roster Prater this week, as his matchup and consistent production make him one of the most appealing kicker options heading into Week 5.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Parker Romo will kick again for the team in their Week 4 tilt on Sunday against the visiting Washington Commanders, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Falcons moved on from former kicker Younghoe Koo after a disappointing performance in the season opener and replaced him with Romo in Week 2. Romo made all five of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in the Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings. However, it didn't last, as he missed both of his field-goal attempts in last week's 30-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers. For now, the Falcons will stick with the 28-year-old heading into Week 4. Romo has gone 16-for-19 in his NFL career on field goals and has missed one of his 10 extra-point tries. Fantasy managers should look for better streaming options.
