Matt Gay Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay is a risky option in Week 12 who is best avoided when the Rams take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Top LA offensive weapon Cooper Kupp was already on the injured reserve. Now QB Matthew Stafford has been declared out, and Bryce Perkins will start for the first time in his career. While Perkins flashed his big play ability in preseason, he has only attempted 11 passes in his career. He might surprise and jump start the Rams offense. But the possibility that he struggles is also very likely. Gay has no floor in Week 12.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay went 2-for-2 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points in the Rams' 20-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The 28-year-old nailed a 58-yard field goal at the end of the fourth quarter. In leagues that award two bonus points for field goals over 50 yards, Gay finishes with 10 points.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay faces the New Orleans Saints in Week 11. The Saints are allowing eighth-most points per game to opposing teams and the third-most points to opposing kickers. The Saints' red zone defense is fifth-best in the league, leading to many field goal attempts for opposing kickers. While the Saints are a plus matchup for kickers, the Rams' own offensive situation could be a drag on Gay. The loss of WR Cooper Kupp means the Rams may struggle to even get into the red zone in the first place.
