Tyler Bass or Justin Tucker Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for Kickers

Kickers sometimes get overlooked in fantasy football, but wise managers know that their weekly scores count just as much as any other position. This means that it is extremely beneficial to have a strategy for approaching kickers each week, such as streaming those in favorable situations. For managers debating between Tyler Bass and Justin Tucker in Week 15, here's which one is a better pick.

Is Tyler Bass a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Tyler Bass

Tyler Bass has the benefit of playing for the Buffalo Bills, one of the highest-scoring offenses in the NFL. This is often an ideal situation for kickers in fantasy football because productive offensive systems create more scoring opportunities. Bass has capitalized by ranking among the top 12 kickers in three of his four seasons so far.

Bass has continued this trend during the 2024 season, as he currently ranks as the K12 this year and has finished among the top five weekly kickers three times in his 13 games. He will be playing in a favorable situation in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions in a dome stadium and in a projected high-scoring contest. All of this makes him an excellent lineup option this week.

Is Justin Tucker a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Justin Tucker

Justin Tucker has been uncharacteristically inefficient during the 2024 fantasy football season with the Baltimore Ravens. He has already missed on 10 of his total kicking attempts this year, which already sets a new career-worst for him, despite still having four more games to go.

Fortunately for his fantasy managers, Tucker still ranks as the overall K10 this year, as he is on his way to ranking among the top 10 overall kickers for the 13th consecutive season. He did miss on three of his attempts in his most recent game, so he will look to bounce back in Week 15 against the New York Giants.

Tyler Bass or Justin Tucker: Who should I start in Week 15 fantasy football?

Who Should I Start

Tyler Bass is the recommended kicker to use in Week 15 fantasy football lineups over Justin Tucker. While his season-long ranking is lower than Tucker's this year, his weekly situation is much more ideal and makes him a better streaming option.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Bass will score more than two additional fantasy points than Tucker this week. Playing in a dome and in a potential shootout are among the reasons why he is the preferred pick.
