π Weekly Recommendation History
Heβs likely to get enough kicks this week, so Iβd start Jake Bates; thereβs a bit of uncertainty since only one expert mentioned him, so double-check injury updates, how the offense is expected to play, and the weather before kickoff.
Start Jake Bates this week β he made all his kicks last game and he'll be kicking indoors at Ford Field, so weather won't be a problem and experts call him a solid play. Only bench him if you really have a better kicker.
Start him in Week 1 β most sources expect heβll handle every kick and he was a solid late-round pick. Just watch the Lambeau weather and rookie nerves, since cold wind could make long kicks tougher.
Draft him late in drafts as your kicker or backup β he kicks well and plays in a dome with a steady offense, but Detroit doesn't try many field goals because their coach often goes for it on fourth down. If your league is small, grab him; otherwise wait and pick a kicker during the season.
