Who Should I Start? Will Reichard or Jude McAtamney

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.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants are having trouble keeping kickers healthy as they're now on the third kicker. Graham Gano (quad) suffered an injury during the season opener which allowed Greg Joseph (abdomen) to get into the picture, but now he's on the injured reserve. The assumption is that McAtamney will remain the kicker for a few games, assuming he does well. He won't be an ideal streaming option given the Giants struggles on offense this season.
