Who Should I Start? Riley Patterson or Chad Ryland

Friday, November 14, 9:23 PM

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson is a fringe starting option this week as the Dolphins face the Commanders in Madrid. Patterson made a 46-yard field goal in his only field goal attempt last week against the Bills, but he did miss an extra point attempt for the first time this season. He's 14-for-16 on field-goal attempts on the year, missing his only try from longer than 50 yards. Before last week's miss, he was perfect on extra points, and he's now 22-for-23. The Commanders have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to kickers this season, and the stadium in Madrid has a retractable roof that should keep the weather from being a factor. Patterson is the No. 17 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings, making him a potential fill-in starter if needed and a solid option even though he doesn't have elite distance or upside.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland has been a sneaky solid option over the last few weeks. In fact, Ryland hasn't missed a kick since missing a 57-yard try against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3. The 26-year-old has made five kicks in each of his last three games. Ryland is flying under the radar right now, but has been one of the more consistent kickers in the league this season. He's not a top option at his position, but is well worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers seeking a kicker for Week 10.
