Who Should I Start? Tyler Bass or Brandon Aubrey

Thursday, October 9, 12:55 PM

While Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott remained non-committal on whether kicker Tyler Bass (groin, hip) would be able to play this season, he did say that he is "heading in the right direction," according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Bass remains on Injured Reserve, and the Bills didn't feel comfortable opening his 21-day practice window this week, which means he will not be ready to return for Monday night's contest in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Bills probably aren't in any rush to bring the 28-year-old Bass back, with veteran Matt Prater being a reliable fill-in through the first five weeks of 2025. Prater has gone 10-for-15 on his field-goal chances while making all 15 of his extra-point opportunities for the 4-1 Bills. When/if Bass is fully healthy and ready to resume kicking, he should take back over as Buffalo's starting placekicker.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has disappointed over his last two starts, averaging only five fantasy points during that stretch. Coming off the bye, the Cowboys will look to get back on track as they take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Aubrey has already proven he's one of the best kickers in the NFL, and this matchup gives him a strong chance to rebound in what projects to be a high-scoring affair (49.5 total). The Raiders' defense has allowed around 320 total yards per game, giving Dallas plenty of opportunities to move the ball and create scoring chances for Aubrey. RotoBaller currently has Aubrey ranked as the No. 1 kicker for Week 11, making him a must-start option in all fantasy formats.
