Who Should I Start? Parker Romo or Jude McAtamney

Saturday, October 11, 3:24 PM

Atlanta Falcons kicker Parker Romo has filled in admirably since he was made the starter in Week 2, going 5-for-5 on extra points and 7-for-9 on field goal attempts, with his two misses coming from 49 yards and 55 yards out. The 28-year-old has been given at least two field goal attempts in each of his three games, and could be active again on Monday, with this matchup against Buffalo having one of the highest over/unders on the slate at 49.5. The game is in Atlanta, so Romo will not have to contend with the elements, however, there are likely safer and higher-upside options available to fantasy managers. The Virginia Tech product projects as a mid-range tier two kicker option on Monday versus the Bills.

The New York Giants released kicker Jude McAtamney on Tuesday after he missed two crucial extra points in the 33-32 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Week 7, sources told Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. McAtamney can return to the team's practice squad without taking up a roster spot because of an international exemption, but it's unclear if that will be in the cards. With McAtamney out, either Younghoe Koo or Graham Gano (groin) will kick for the Giants in Week 8 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. While filling in as the Giants' placekicker for the last four games, McAtamney made both of his field-goal tries but missed three of his 12 extra-point attempts. The 25-year-old wasn't on the fantasy radar during his short time as the team's fill-in kicker.
