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 remains a top fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Aubrey is the overall K2 this season, and although that ranking is largely skewed by big performances in Weeks 1 and 2, he remains a threat to deliver a massive fantasy performance in any given week. In addition to being extremely accurate, Aubrey has one of the strongest legs in the league, making four kicks from at least 50 yards out so far. As a result, he should be started in all fantasy leagues despite the Panthers allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025.
