Who Should I Start? Tanner Brown or Harrison Mevis

Tuesday, September 17, 2:58 PM

The Los Angeles Rams signed kicker Tanner Browns to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The 24-year-old went unselected in last year's NFL Draft out of Oklahoma State and has been on and off the L.A. roster since signing with the organization after the draft. Starting kicker Joshua Karty has made all three of his field goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries to begin the year, so it's unclear whether Brown will be given a chance to earn the starting role. Either way, the Rams offense is likely to struggle with Puka Nacua (knee), Cooper Kupp (foot), and several offensive linemen on the shelf, so he would not be an attractive fantasy kicker option if he plays anytime soon.

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.
