Who Should I Start? Riley Patterson or Jude McAtamney

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots. Patterson will once again serve as the kicker in Miami with Jason Sanders (hip) still sidelined. He didn't attempt any kicks during the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. The Dolphins were blown out during that game, so Patterson wasn't needed. Hopefully, Patterson will actually get to attempt some kicks this week. The Dolphins offense looked awful in Week 1, so Patterson isn't someone who should be trusted as a viable source for fantasy points right now.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants are having trouble keeping kickers healthy as they're now on the third kicker. Graham Gano (quad) suffered an injury during the season opener which allowed Greg Joseph (abdomen) to get into the picture, but now he's on the injured reserve. The assumption is that McAtamney will remain the kicker for a few games, assuming he does well. He won't be an ideal streaming option given the Giants struggles on offense this season.
