Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Wil Lutz

Saturday, November 8, 1:14 AM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has been a victim of the offense's success at times this season. The team consistently moves the ball downfield and scores, but the high touchdown percentage has limited Prater's field goal opportunities. The kicker is fourth in the league with 25 extra points made, but ranks just 20th with 12 field goals. Prater's 85.7% conversion rate is adequate, but his lack of opportunities has frustrated fantasy owners throughout the season. Week 10 should bring another positive matchup where Prater maintains a high floor, but will unlikely emerge as a top-tier kicker this week. Despite the lack of high-end scoring, he does remain a steady play for teams in need of a five-to-ten point week from their kicker.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after being limited with an illness earlier in the week. The 31-year-old is good to go and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. He will look to right the ship in Week 10 after missing his first field goal of the season in Week 9. He dealt with an illness during the week and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Raiders on Thursday night. To be fair, the Houston Texans blocked the field goal attempt, which was from 51 yards out. The Raiders average 26.3 points allowed per game, which enabled Lutz more opportunities than he had in Week 9 to put points up on the board. In what could be a close game due to the division rivalry, managers should count on Lutz to bounce back as RotoBaller has him ranked at 11 overall for the week.
