Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Wil Lutz

Saturday, October 11, 3:16 PM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater remains a solid streaming option in Week 6, rostered in just 41% of fantasy leagues. Prater has been steady all season, converting 10-of-11 field-goal attempts while benefiting from the Bills' ability to consistently move the ball. Facing the league's top-ranked Falcons defense, Buffalo may find it difficult to finish drives in the end zone, setting up more field-goal opportunities for the veteran kicker. With a strong leg and a reliable track record, Prater offers high-upside potential in what could be a competitive, lower-scoring matchup on Monday night.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has solidified himself as a reliable kicker when called upon and will look to keep things going against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Unfortunately, this season, he hasn't had many opportunities to do much with an average of just 1.25 field goal attempts through four games. In Week 4, he only accounted for four extra points and wasn't asked to attempt a single field goal in the blowout versus the Bengals. The Eagles' defense could stall the Broncos' defense more often this week than the Bengals did in Week 4, potentially giving Lutz more field goal opportunities in a defensive matchup. It's still likely best to pivot elsewhere for kicker points in Week 5.
