Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his extra-point attempts in a 28-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The team struggled to move the ball in the first half and found itself trailing by 21 at halftime, forcing Pittsburgh to be more aggressive with its decision-making in the second half. The Steelers scored two touchdowns in the third quarter, giving Boswell his only action of the contest on PATs. Despite a quiet conclusion to the campaign, it was a historic run for the 33-year-old, whose 41 field goals fell just three shy of David Akers' NFL record for single-season makes. Boswell is under contract through the 2026-2027 season and should be one of the first kickers off the board in fantasy drafts this coming fall.

According to Ryan Mink of the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (illness) is off the injury report for Saturday's playoff game. The veteran kicker popped up on the injury report on Wednesday and remained a non-participant on Thursday. However, the team has already cleared him and he does not carry a designation into the weekend. The 33-year-old did not miss a game all season and held a strong 93.2% conversion rate on field goal attempts and a perfect rate on extra points. He missed only one attempt on field goals from within 49 yards out. Fantasy managers should view Boswell as a solid option for DFS formats, as he has averaged 11.2 PPR points per game this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers placekicker Chris Boswell (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. The 33-year-old could log a full session on Tuesday but evidently caught something overnight and was unavailable a day later. It's been an incredible season for the veteran -- drilling all 35 extra-point tries while failing to connect on only three field goals. He led the league with 158 points. While Boswell will get another shot at practice time on Thursday ahead of their Wild Card clash with the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, it's mildly concerning for the Steelers. Defensive lineman Cameron Heyward (illness) is also under the weather and has been a DNP the whole week thus far, so hopefully, it doesn't spread further. Heyward reportedly has the flu, while Boswell's illness has not yet been reported.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell nailed his only field goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in a 19-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Boswell's field goal, a 54-yarder, came in crunch time with Pittsburgh down by five points with fewer than three minutes remaining in the contest. Unfortunately, the Steelers were unable to move the ball into field goal range on their final possession to give Boswell an opportunity for a game-winner. The 33-year-old will conclude the most prolific campaign of his career with 41 made field goals and without missing a single extra-point attempt. Boswell can be started as a high-end option in playoff fantasy leagues and DFS contests when the wild-card round begins next weekend.
Jan 5, 2025 2:24 AM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was not asked to do much in Week 17 and will hope to be more involved in a Week 18 bout with the Cincinnati Bengals. Just a few weeks ago, Boswell drilled five extra points and three field goals in a win against Cincinnati in which the Steelers put up 44 points. The Bengals have surrendered over 26 points per contest this season, so it's no surprise this divisional contest has a healthy projected point total of 48.5. Boswell offers plenty of upside on Saturday and should remain in fantasy lineups that still have something to play for.
Jan 3, 2025 3:38 PM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was successful on both his lone field goal attempt and lone extra-point try of a 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Boswell was good from 36 yards out in the third quarter but was otherwise not asked to do much as Pittsburgh's offense struggled to move the ball on Wednesday. While it is unfortunate that Boswell underwhelmed throughout the fantasy playoffs, the 33-year-old was incredibly impactful for much of the regular season and has cemented himself as one of the best kickers in the NFL. He'll close out the campaign with a divisional showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18.
Dec 25, 2024 11:19 PM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is the top fantasy scorer at his position this season and will look to finish the fantasy campaign on a high note against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. Pittsburgh's top wide receiver, George Pickens (hamstring), is expected to return from a three-week absence on Wednesday, which should only benefit the offense and improve Boswell's chances of seeing the field. While the Chiefs have been stout defensively and have limited opposing kickers to the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game, Boswell has been far too consistent to bench in favor of a streaming candidate. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Boswell as a high-end option this week.
Dec 24, 2024 12:34 AM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was somewhat quiet last week but remains one of the most reliable fantasy options at his position ahead of a Week 16 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens. Back in Week 11, Boswell single-handedly defeated Baltimore on the scoreboard, nailing all six of his field goal attempts in the 18-16 victory. Saturday's contest will take place in Pittsburgh, where Boswell averages three field goals made per game. With George Pickens (hamstring) sidelined for a third straight week, the Steelers could struggle offensively and may be forced to again lean on their defense and the steady leg of Boswell. Fantasy managers should feel confident deploying Boswell in this divisional bout.
Dec 20, 2024 12:36 AM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his field goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try of a 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Pittsburgh struggled to get much of anything going offensively on Sunday, but Boswell delivered when given the opportunity. He was good from 37 and 49 yards out to bring him just six made field goals away from tying David Akers' NFL record of 44 made in a season. He will remain a high-end fantasy option as he looks to pull even closer in a Week 16 clash with the Baltimore Ravens.
Dec 15, 2024 10:42 PM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has had a remarkable season and will look to keep rolling against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Philadelphia surrenders the third-fewest fantasy points to kickers and holds opposing offenses to the fewest total yards in the NFL. However, Boswell has proven time and time again that he can overcome difficult matchups. If Pittsburgh's offense stalls out in the red zone as it has at times this year, Boswell will be tasked with keeping the Steelers in the contest. Fantasy managers should have the utmost confidence starting Boswell in all redraft formats in Week 15.
Dec 14, 2024 1:50 AM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his field goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in a 27-14 win over the Cleveland Browns. Per usual, Boswell was money on Sunday and delivered when called upon from 30 and 54 yards out. He was quiet in the second half as Pittsburgh managed to find the end zone twice but extended his streak to 29 consecutive successful PATs this season. Although the imposing Philadelphia Eagles defense is on tap for Week 15, Boswell will remain a must-start throughout the fantasy playoffs.
Dec 8, 2024 6:58 PM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was underwhelming for fantasy in his last meeting with the Cleveland Browns but will have a shot at redemption at home against his division rival in Week 14. Boswell's missed field goal attempt from deep in Week 12 can at least partially be attributed to the weather, which should not be a concern for Sunday's contest. The Browns have allowed plenty of touchdowns this season, but we have seen that the Steelers are willing and able to lean on Boswell en route to victory, especially in Pittsburgh where he averages over three made field goals per game. Fantasy managers should continue to have a high degree of confidence starting Boswell in all formats.
Dec 6, 2024 11:19 PM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell connected on three of his four field goal attempts and drilled all five of his extra-point tries in a 44-38 victory over the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Boswell was good from 50, 34, and 30 yards out, but unfortunately had a 42-yard attempt blocked by the Bengals in the third quarter. Still, Boswell was excellent for fantasy purposes as Pittsburgh's offense had no trouble moving the football and managed to find the end zone four times. With how dominant Boswell has been this season, fantasy managers need to keep him locked into starting lineups regardless of his opponent. That said, he'll face a difficult Cleveland Browns defense in Week 14.
Dec 1, 2024 6:10 PM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will be looking to bounce back against the Cincinnati Bengals after missing one of his three field goal attempts in the snow last week. It was a rare miss for Boswell, who has been excellent for fantasy and arguably the best kicker in the NFL this season. While Cincinnati hasn't given up much production to kickers, the Bengals tend to get into high-scoring battles with most of the teams they face. Until Pittsburgh's offense proves it can punch the ball into the end zone consistently, Boswell will continue to be called upon frequently. The 10th-year veteran is a must-start fantasy asset with plenty of upside on Sunday.
Nov 30, 2024 2:29 AM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell connected on two of his three field goal attempts and drilled his lone extra-point try in a 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Boswell's 58-yard attempt on Pittsburgh's first possession of the contest was just his second missed field goal of the season. He later found success from 48 and 28 yards out despite consistent winds and snowfall in Cleveland. Although fantasy managers who were treated to Boswell's superb Week 11 performance may be disappointed in his showing on Thursday night, the 33-year-old proved that he can still offer a solid floor for fantasy in poor weather conditions. He'll continue to project as a high-end option heading into a Week 13 meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Nov 22, 2024 11:45 AM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is coming off a stellar performance in Week 11 and will hope to pick up right where he left off against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12. Boswell has been the most reliable fantasy scorer at his position this season, having made 29 of his 30 field goal attempts and all 20 of his extra-point tries. This is an especially appealing spot for Boswell, not only because the Browns surrender the 13th-most fantasy points per contest to kickers, but also because of the game environment many are expecting on Thursday night. This AFC North showdown is projected to be a defensive battle with touchdowns coming at a premium. Even with the possibility of harsh weather conditions in Cleveland, fantasy managers can lock Boswell into starting lineups.
Nov 20, 2024 8:27 PM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled all six of his field goal attempts in an 18-16 victory over the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. This contest was projected to be a relatively high-scoring affair, and while it didn't quite live up to expectations, Boswell saw plenty of action. The Ravens limited Pittsburgh's offense in the red zone, forcing the Steelers to lean on Boswell time and time again. Fortunately for the team and fantasy managers alike, he answered each call. Boswell nailed long kicks of 50, 52, and 57 yards as easily as he converted on three chip-shots. The 10th-year veteran is on pace for a career-best campaign and has solidified himself as a fantasy asset. He'll face another AFC North opponent in the Cleveland Browns next week.
Nov 17, 2024 5:40 PM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell played a limited role in the team's victory last week and will look to make more of an impact against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. While Baltimore has been middle-of-the-road against fantasy kickers this season, Sunday's divisional showdown is tied for the highest over/under of the week. The Steelers should be able to throw and score on the Ravens, but it's hard to imagine Boswell goes another week without a field goal attempt. Boswell has been automatic all season, so he can be expected to produce for fantasy purposes if his number is called. Fantasy managers can lock Boswell in as a top-five option in this potential shootout.
Nov 15, 2024 8:28 PM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell connected on all four of his extra-point attempts in a 28-27 victory over the Washington Commanders. For the first time this season, Boswell did not register a field goal attempt as the Steelers' offense was able to punch the ball into the end zone on three of its four red zone visits. Pittsburgh is scoring at a much higher rate with Russell Wilson under center, but fantasy managers should not expect Boswell to be this quiet most weeks. He should bounce back in Week 11 in a divisional showdown with the Baltimore Ravens.
Nov 11, 2024 12:22 AM EST
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is a top-three fantasy scorer at his position this season and will hope to stay productive against the Washington Commanders in Week 10. It's worth noting that the Commanders' defense is much improved from last season and is surrendering the third-fewest fantasy points per contest to opposing kickers. Nonetheless, Boswell is one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL and offers more upside than he did to start the campaign with quarterback Russell Wilson now leading Pittsburgh's offense. Fantasy managers that held onto Boswell through the Steelers' Week 9 bye or managed to add him from free agency should feel confident putting him right back in starting lineups on Sunday.
