New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales remains off the fantasy radar after missing a kick in his NFL debut last weekend. While this week's matchup against the Miami Dolphins should present plenty of scoring opportunities, Borregales' miss from 40 yards out last week indicates that nothing is a sure thing when he swings his leg through the football. The rookie is still working through growing pains, and those will need to work themselves out before the Miami product becomes a dependable top-15 option in fantasy football. For now, you can find better and more dependable options on the waiver wire.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales will make his NFL debut this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, but he's not a reliable fantasy football option at this time. In addition to the fact that Borregales has never attempted a regular-season kick in the NFL, he also starts his career in a Gillette Stadium environment that could be dealing with light rain and wind on Sunday. Furthermore, while the Patriots' offense is trending upward, they lack the type of firepower that would essentially guarantee Borregales has multiple scoring opportunities every game. For now, the University of Miami product ranks near the bottom of the fantasy kicker rankings.

The New England Patriots have named rookie Andy Borregales their starting kicker for 2025 after releasing Parker Romo on Tuesday. A sixth-round draft pick, Borregales arrives from Miami (FL), where he built a strong collegiate r sum by converting 74 of 86 field goals, including an impressive 18-for-19 mark in 2024. While he showed some inconsistency during the preseason, the Patriots are committing to him as their long-term option at the position. New England will be counting on Borregales' leg to stabilize special teams and provide reliability in tight games throughout the season.
