Who Should I Start? Will Reichard or Joshua Karty

Friday, December 20, 6:10 PM

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is a fringe top option in Week 16 when his team lines up against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. The rookie was excellent in last weekend's 30-12 win over the Chicago Bears, knocking in all six of his kicks (three extra points), including his first field goals since returning from a quad injury that forced him to injured reserve. Despite his monster Week 15 outing, he'll be tougher to trust against a Seahawks unit that's allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to kickers in 2024 (6.8). Even with a potent Minnesota offense behind him, fantasy managers can likely find a better kicking option in the fantasy semi-finals. Reichard is RotoBaller's K14 ahead of this week's slate of action.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty went 4-for-4 on field goal attempts on Thursday evening during their victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Karty scored all 12 points for the Rams as the offense was unable to get into the end zone. Karty's longest kick came from 48 yards in the second quarter. Then in the fourth, Karty hit his three other field goals all from within 30 yards. After posting a 62.5% FG rate during Weeks 10 through 13, Karty has gone perfect on attempts over his past two games. However, he did miss one PAT last weekend. Despite his struggles, Karty remains a decent low-end K1 given Los Angeles' potent offense. Next weekend, he will face the New York Jets, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season.
