Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Joey Slye

Wednesday, November 5, 7:39 PM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after being limited with an illness earlier in the week. The 31-year-old is good to go and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. He will look to right the ship in Week 10 after missing his first field goal of the season in Week 9. He dealt with an illness during the week and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Raiders on Thursday night. To be fair, the Houston Texans blocked the field goal attempt, which was from 51 yards out. The Raiders average 26.3 points allowed per game, which enabled Lutz more opportunities than he had in Week 9 to put points up on the board. In what could be a close game due to the division rivalry, managers should count on Lutz to bounce back as RotoBaller has him ranked at 11 overall for the week.

Tennessee Titans kicker Joey Slye (calf) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 6 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a calf injury, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Slye leads the league in both field goal attempts (17) and makes (13 through five weeks so far this season. With Slye sidelined, Tennessee will reportedly let veteran Matthew Wright handle the kicking duties in Week 6. Wright has appeared in 29 games across five NFL seasons for six different teams. He's made 55 out of 63 (87.3%) of his career field goal attempts. Wright should be avoided by fantasy managers in Week 6 against Las Vegas.
