Who Should I Start? Riley Patterson or Harrison Mevis

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.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that rookie Harrison Mevis will be the team's kicker again for a Week 11 divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. The Rams made the switch to Mevis over the struggling Joshua Karty in their Week 10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The 23-year-old wasn't tested with any field-goal tries on Sunday, but he did make all six of his extra-point opportunities for the Rams. Karty remains on the team's 53-man roster, so Mevis will need to perform to stick around. Mevis lacks experience, but he could quickly become a fantasy consideration at the kicking position if he's successful in one of the best offenses in football.
