Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Riley Patterson

Friday, November 21, 6:24 PM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has agreed to a three-year extension with the organization on Friday. This news comes after Lutz earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Lutz went 5-for-5 on field goal attempts, including a game-winner against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. This new deal will keep Lutz in Denver through 2028. Through 11 games, Lutz has made 17-of-20 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 24 of his extra point kicks. A well-deserved extension for Lutz who has been a viable option for the Broncos over the last three seasons.

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson is a fringe starting option this week as the Dolphins face the Commanders in Madrid. Patterson made a 46-yard field goal in his only field goal attempt last week against the Bills, but he did miss an extra point attempt for the first time this season. He's 14-for-16 on field-goal attempts on the year, missing his only try from longer than 50 yards. Before last week's miss, he was perfect on extra points, and he's now 22-for-23. The Commanders have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to kickers this season, and the stadium in Madrid has a retractable roof that should keep the weather from being a factor. Patterson is the No. 17 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings, making him a potential fill-in starter if needed and a solid option even though he doesn't have elite distance or upside.
