Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Zane Gonzalez

Thursday, November 20, 12:11 AM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has continued to flash just enough potential in the team's high-powered offense to remain relevant in fantasy football. The 41-year-old will look to rack up double-digit points against the Houston Texans on Thursday night for the first time since Week 8. Prater has totaled just 13 points over his last three games. Meanwhile, the Texans are allowing just 5.1 points per game to opposing kickers, the lowest total in the league. With Josh Allen leading the way, expect the Bills to find the endzone multiple times, but Prater's value will come from field goal opportunities, which are shaky at best. Despite the tough matchup, Prater can be used as a streamer in Week 12 and is ranked 10th among all kickers in the latest RotoBaller rankings.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Zane Gonzalez will make his season debut on Sunday in Germany in a matchup against the Colts. The 30-year-old last played for Washington in 2024, which included six regular-season games and all three of the team's postseason contests. In all, Gonzalez was 12-for-15 on field goal attempts and 27-for-27 on extra points. Since entering the league in 2017, the Arizona State product owns an 80 percent success rate on field goal attempts, and he'll look to bring some stability to the position after both Younghoe Koo and Parker Romo were unable to make it through the season as the team's kicker. Sunday's contest has a relatively high over/under of 48.5, but the Falcons are projected for only 21 points, so there are likely better options on the waiver wire for fantasy managers looking for a streaming option at kicker.
