Who Should I Start? Tyler Bass or Jake Moody

Monday, December 1, 4:39 PM

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass (groin, hip) underwent surgery on his groin/hip and will not kick again this season, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Bass will end up missing the entire 2025 season and will close out the year on Injured Reserve. Veteran Matt Prater has been filling in for Bass all year in Buffalo and has made 17 of his 19 field-goal attempts (89.5%) and 34 of his 37 extra-point tries in 12 games played. In fantasy football, Prater has been the No. 14 kicker in terms of overall points, and he'll definitely be in play for the upcoming Week 14 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals and their generous defense. Bass signed a four-year contract extension with Buffalo in 2023, so he should be back with the team next year if he's recovered from his injuries.

Washington Commanders kicker Jake Moody was perfect in his team debut last week against the Denver Broncos, nailing both field-goal attempts and two extra points. Moody has made 10 of his last 11 attempts since missing two kicks in Week 1 with the San Francisco 49ers and subsequently being released. The 26-year-old profiles as a solid option in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, with Washington's offense consistently able to move the ball into scoring position. The return of quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) also boosts the appeal of streaming Moody in fantasy football with Washington's offense as close to full health as it's been all season.
