Who Should I Start? Riley Patterson or Blake Grupe

Kicker Riley Patterson, who was signed on Wednesday, will be the Baltimore Ravens' kicker for their Monday night game against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, special teams coordinator Anthony Levine told Jamison Hensley of ESPN. The Ravens also signed kicker Harrison Mevis to the practice squad for depth behind Patterson. The 27-year-old Patterson comes to the Ravens after going 7-for-9 on his field-goal attempts and 5-for-6 on extra points in five games this year for the Miami Dolphins as their placekicker. He will be taking over for Jake Moody, who was Baltimore's Week 9 kicker before the Atlanta Falcons signed him off the practice squad on Tuesday. In five-plus NFL seasons, Patterson has made 86.6% of his 112 field-goal attempts (7-for-14 from 50-plus yards) and 96.1% of his 154 extra-point attempts with six different teams. The Ravens will be starting new quarterback Jacoby Brissett for the first time this year in Week 10 on Monday Night Football, which should be a boost to their offense over Joe Fagnano, but fantasy managers should have better options at kicker than Patterson.
