Who Should I Start? Michael Badgley or Eddy Piñeiro

Saturday, October 11, 9:13 AM

Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley will make his debut with his new team in a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Badgley was signed earlier in the week after former kicker Spencer Shrader (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in a Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. While this will be Badgley's first game this season, the Colts' offense has provided plenty of scoring opportunities for the kicker through the first five games of the season. This sets Badgley up as a top-12 fantasy option right out of the gate. Fantasy gamers can feel free to insert him into their starting lineups on Sunday as a solid option.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro nailed his second game-winning kick in three weeks in Week 5. Pineiro's 59-yarder, a new career-best, sealed the 49ers' 26-23 win over the Rams in overtime. He also converted two extra points and hit three other field goals in regulation from 20, 37, and 41 yards out, making him a perfect 11-for-11 on field goal attempts so far this season. After his big game on Thursday, Pineiro ranks second among kickers in fantasy points per game. San Francisco's matchup against Tampa Bay carries one of the higher implied totals on the Week 6 slate, which means Pineiro can be expected to see his fair share of opportunities to get points on the board. He is a good streaming option for Week 6.
