Who Should I Start? Riley Patterson or Brayden Narveson

Saturday, December 6, 6:24 AM

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson has filled in well for Jason Sanders (hip) this season, as Sanders' IR stint has extended through the first 13 weeks of the season. Patterson has made 21 of his 23 field goal attempts overall this season and 24 of his 25 extra point attempts. He converted all four of his field goal chances last week against the Saints and also added an extra point. This week, he'll be in a good matchup against the Jets, but the weather in New York is expected to be very cold. Patterson has not made any field goals from 50+ yards this season, but has consistently converted shorter attempts. The elements will make it tough to make anything from long distance, but he can reliably deliver shorter kicks. He is the No. 14 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he isn't a must-start in most leagues, but he isn't a terrible option either.

According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Tennessee Titans are signing kicker Brayden Narveson to the active roster. The Titans also added another year to his contract to keep him under team control through the 2025 season. This is also worth monitoring as No.1 kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Folk opened the week as a non-participant but was able to upgrade to a limited participant which may open the door for him to suit up. Narveson operated as the starting kicker in Green Bay over the first six games and held an underwhelming 70.6% conversion rate and was 16-for-16 on extra points. However, with Mason Rudolph getting the starting nod, both kickers should remain on the waiver wire and out of your starting lineup this weekend as the Titans may have trouble getting points on the board.
