Who Should I Start? Matthew Wright or Tyler Loop

Friday, November 7, 10:04 AM

NFL reporter for the Houston Texans, Aaron Wilson, reported on Friday that the Texans will turn to Matthew Wright as their kicker in Week 10 as Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) is injured and not able to go against their division opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wright has kicked for multiple NFL teams and was last with the Washington Commanders. He has made 56 of 65 career kicks and 43 of 45 extra points. He has also kicked for the Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Jaguars, Wilson reports. This is a big matchup for the Texans, as a loss will send them further to the bottom of the AFC South standings. The Texans sit at (3-5), while the Jaguars are at (5-3), and both are looking up at the division leaders, the Indianapolis Colts, at (7-2). A win here for the Texans could continue to give them hope down the stretch and help them make a run with a big division win. The Jaguars have allowed the second-fewest points to opposing kickers, making Wright a challenging play in Week 10.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop unfortunately didn't deliver for fantasy managers in Week 13. The Ravens' offense could only muster up 14 points against one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop didn't attempt any field goals, but made both of his extra points. In Week 14, they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers who allow 9.08 fantasy points per game to kickers this season. The Steelers passing defense hasn't been great, but the Ravens need to be more reliable getting the ball into field goal range. For Week 14, Loop is projected as the K8 in RotoBaller's rankings, which makes him a solid play in most leagues.
