Matt Prater Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is ranked 10th among kickers through the first two weeks of the season. Prater is 9-for-9 on extra points and 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts. In Week 2, he made a 50-plus-yard field goal against the Minnesota Vikings. In Week 1, the Cardinals put up 38 points against the Titans, which allowed Prater to have five extra-point opportunities. In Week 2, the Cardinals put up 34 points, and the difference was his long field-goal make, which gave him 12 fantasy points. He will look to keep the momentum going in Week 3 against the Jaguars, who have given up an average of 13.5 points to Joey Slye and Brandon McManus. Prater should be considered a strong option for Week 3.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is an appealing option for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Prater is ranked 10th in the kickers category for Week 1. Last season, Prater made six field goals from over 50 yards out. The 37-year-old signed a two-year, $7 million deal with the Cardinals during the offseason. Prater left the Lions after spending seven seasons in Detroit. With quarterbackKyler Murray running an electrifying offense, there will be more opportunities for Prater to rack up points, whether it's extra points or field goals. Throughout the season, Prater should be considered a low-end starting option. It's safe to start him in a Week 1 bout that could be high-scoring.
