Who Should I Start? Riley Patterson or Harrison Mevis

Friday, November 28, 7:55 PM

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson will continue to fill in for Jason Sanders (hip) as he has all season, and this week, he's in a good kicking matchup against the Saints as the Dolphins return from their bye week. Patterson has connected on 17 of his 19 field goal attempts and 23 of his 24 extra points on the year, although he did miss his only attempt from 50+ yards. Before the bye week, he made all three of his field goals in Madrid, and he'll return to action in Week 13 at Hard Rock Stadium this week. In the RotoBaller Week 13 rankings, he checks in as the No. 18 kicker, meaning he can be used in deep leagues but is probably not the strongest available option in standard-sized leagues, during this week with no teams on a bye week.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis finally kicked his first NFL field goal during his third game last Sunday. He remains perfect on kicks this season, and his strong stretch of games prompted the Rams to release fellow kicker Joshua Karty on Friday. Mevis now has the position group all to himself, and he's surging at the right time. He went 4-for-4 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals last week, including one from beyond 50 yards out. He remains a perfect 13-for-13 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals since joining the Rams and making his NFL debut. This week, Mevis takes on a Panthers team allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2025. Despite this tougher matchup, Mevis is a promising fantasy kicker thanks to how frequently the Rams get into scoring position. He's certainly worth streaming and starting this weekend. After all, he ranks as the overall K6 in RotoBaller's Week 13 fantasy rankings.
