Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk is worth considering as a low-end fantasy streamer in Week 12 against the Houston Texans. Although the Titans haven't given Folk a whole lot of scoring opportunities this year, he has made the most of his chances, going 14-for-15 on field goals and 18-for-18 on extra points. Despite his accuracy, he ranks 23rd among kickers in fantasy points, largely due to the Titans' aforementioned struggles on offense this season. To further complicate matters, the Texans have been somewhat stingy on special teams, holding opposing kickers to the 14th-fewest fantasy points. With that said, Houston has surrendered 0.6 field goals of at least 50 yards per game, which is the fourth-most in the NFL. Therefore, despite his tougher matchup, Folk could put himself on the fantasy radar with his accuracy and powerful leg. He's a fringe top-12 option heading into Sunday's divisional battle.

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk faces the New York Jets in a Week 2 matchup this Sunday. The veteran nailed his only field goal attempt against Chicago last week, booting in a 40-yarder early in the second quarter. Unfortunately the Titans offense could not move the ball for the entirety of the second half which didn't lead to many opportunities for Folk to put points on the board. The story may be the same this coming week with the Jets and their stout defensive unit coming to town. There are likely better kicking options currently on waivers for this week.

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk will start the season in Chicago taking on the Bears in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. Folk was the #19 kicker last year but the ranking wasn't emblematic of his effectiveness. It was a career-year for the 39-year old veteran, who finished first in the NFL with a 96.7% conversion rate. The Titans have a completely revamped offense which should score more than 17.9 points per game (26th overall), meaning Folk will have many more opportunities to score fantasy points. However, Chicago has one of the best defenses in the league and is playing on their home turf in Week 1. With the Titans offense still unproven, Folk is probably better left on waivers for opening weekend.

The Tennessee Titans re-signed veteran kicker Nick Folk to a one-year, $3.755 million deal on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal can be worth a maximum of $4.13 million through incentives. Although Folk wasn't as productive in fantasy -- he finished as the No. 21 kicker in overall fantasy points -- as he was in 2022 with the New England Patriots, he's been one of the most accurate kickers in the league in recent seasons. The 39-year-old missed just one of his 30 field-goal attempts for a league-best 96.7 percent conversion rate. Folk also missed just two of his 30 extra-point tries in his first year in Tennessee in 2023. The Titans lost All-Pro running back Derrick Henry in free agency, but they added Tony Pollard and receiver Calvin Ridley, so there's certainly potential for Folk to get more chances for field goals and extra points in 2024.

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk missed his kick of the season last week, but the 39-year-old is still 21-of-22 on field goals and 13-of-13 on extra points this year. Although Tennessee's offense has been putrid in recent weeks, that can sometimes work in the favor of fantasy kickers. If Will Levis can at least bounce back and move the ball a little bit on Sunday against the Jaguars, Folk should be in for more field goal and extra-point attempts. In 14-plus team leagues, he's worth consideration.
Nov 16, 2023 2:58 PM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk remains perfect on the season after eight games. The 39-year-old has made all 19 of his field goal attempts and all 13 extra point tries. At this point in the season, he ranks sixth in fantasy points per game (10.0). That said, he remains on the fantasy radar and is a viable fantasy starter in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Nov 9, 2023 7:30 PM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has yet to miss an extra point or field goal attempt this season on 28 total tries. He ranks eighth among kickers in fantasy points per game this season and is set to play on Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rookie quarterback Will Levis might continue to give the Titans' offense more juice, which could lead to more scoring opportunities for Folk. This Thursday Night AFC Showdown in Pittsburgh could prove to be a battle of field possession and field goals, so the 38-year-old could finish as a top-ten kicker option in Week 9.
Nov 1, 2023 3:38 PM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has made all 13 of his field goal attempts this season, including three kicks from 50-plus yards. He's also made all seven of his extra-point tries. Tennessee has scored the seventh-fewest points per game (17.6) and its Week 6 opponent, the Baltimore Ravens, has allowed the third-fewest points (15.0) per game. In all likelihood, the Titans' offense will stall out before it reaches the red zone, meaning Folk could have more chances to score fantasy points. The veteran ranks fifth in fantasy points among kickers this season, so he offers upside for fantasy managers looking for a streaming option.
Oct 12, 2023 2:39 PM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has made all ten of his field goal attempts and all six of his extra point attempts through four games this season. The veteran looks confident from any distance, making him an intriguing Week 5 streaming option. The 38-year-old ranks sixth in total fantasy points (43) at the position after finishing last year's campaign with the New England Patriots as the No. 6 scorer among kickers. Fantasy managers playing the weekly kicker streaming game should give him a look against the Indianapolis Colts, who play indoors.
Oct 5, 2023 2:44 PM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has made all eight of his field goal attempts this season and was beginning to enter the fantasy radar. However, Tennessee's offense scored just three total points in Week 3, proving Folk's floor is low as a part of a low-scoring team. He has plenty of upside if Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, and company can turn things around, but until then, there are likely better streaming options available. When teams start to go on bye weeks, he might become a more interesting fantasy asset. Stay away from him in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Sep 28, 2023 1:25 PM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk made five field goals in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints then made two field goals, including a game-winner in overtime, in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He has made all of his field goal and extra point tries through two weeks, placing him on the fantasy football radar. However, the Titans' offense will likely struggle to move the ball against the fierce Cleveland Browns defense in Week 3, making Folk a risky play at the kicker spot. He is the No. 6 kicker in total fantasy points so far, but he carries a boom-or-bust outlook into Week 3 given the matchup.
Sep 21, 2023 12:32 PM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk made all three of his extra points and both of his field goal attempts, including a 41-yard game-winner against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2. The 38-year-old is now perfect on seven field goal attempts this season, meaning he should at least enter the fantasy football radar. Tennessee's offense looked much improved in Week 2, so hopefully, Ryan Tannehill and company will set him up for plenty of scoring opportunities moving forward.
Sep 18, 2023 9:13 AM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk led the position in fantasy points last week, connecting on all five of his field goal attempts in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. However, it's too early to push him up the weekly fantasy rankings after one game. The Titans' offense could stall out near the red zone often and set him up for plenty of kicking opportunities. For now, he should be considered a mid-level streaming option in the matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2.
Sep 14, 2023 2:31 PM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk made five field goals on five attempts in the 15-16 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The veteran kicker was perfect on the day and scored the only points for Tennessee. Given the lack of success with converting three-downs for Tennessee, Folk could be near the top of the NFL in field goal attempts this season. He becomes an interesting streaming option moving forward after the big day in his Titans debut.
Sep 10, 2023 4:53 PM EST
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk was recently traded to the team from the New England Patriots. He's had success as a fantasy kicker in recent seasons, but he's not a high-end fantasy option in his first game with the Titans. The Tennessee offense added DeAndre Hopkins this season, but it's yet to be seen if it'll be an effective unit overall in 2023. If Tennessee proves to be a high-powered offense, Folk could enter the fantasy radar as a streamer in favorable matchups. Against a talented New Orleans Saints defense in Week 1, he's not worth rolling the dice on.
Sep 8, 2023 12:24 PM EST
The New England Patriots are trading veteran kicker Nick Folk to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Folk lost the preseason battle for the New England kicker job to rookie fourth-round pick Chad Ryland but quickly finds a new home. The Titans released Michael Badgley after a brief stint with the team, so it looks like Folk is locked in to handle placekicking duties in 2023. Folk has been in the NFL since 2007 and the 38-year-old made 32 of his 37 field goal attempts and 32 of 35 extra point attempts last season. His fantasy ceiling could be limited by a suspect Titans' offense.
