Who Should I Start? Randy Bullock or Matt Gay

Thursday, December 21, 2:18 PM

New York Giants kicker Randy Bullock (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve on Thursday due to the hamstring strain that knocked him out of Week 15's loss to the New Orleans Saints. Bullock ends his season having made five of six field goal attempts and converting all 10 of his extra-point tries. The move opens the door for Cade York to move up from the practice squad and take over kicking duties for New York. York spent his rookie year with the Cleveland Browns and was 24-for-32 on field goal attempts and missed two of his 37 extra-point attempts in 2022. York is the likeliest pivot for the Giants when they face the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, but fantasy managers should avoid him in Week 16.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (hip) will not carry a designation into the Week 16 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Gay missed Wednesday's practice, then logged a limited session on Thursday, and on Friday was able to participate in full, per the team's official injury report. On the season, Gay has gone 26-for-33 on field goal attempts and has converted 32 of his 33 extra-point tries. Five of his misses (including the whiffed PAT) have come in the four games since the Colts' Week 11 bye, but Gay saw enough success in the same timeframe to finish as a top-10 kicker three times. On the season he has been a top-10 option nine times and can be counted on for another strong finish on Sunday in the neutral conditions of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
