Who Should I Start? Blake Grupe or Andy Borregales

Saturday, October 18, 1:05 AM

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe was perfect in Week 6, making all four field goal attempts and his lone extra point in the loss to the Patriots. This marks his second straight game with four field goals, and with New Orleans struggling to reach the end zone, Grupe has established himself as one of the more reliable fantasy kickers, currently ranking fifth overall. He's 14-for-19 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points this season. Grupe faces the Bears in Week 7, who have allowed 8.2 fantasy points per game to kickers, 10th in the league. With the Saints moving the ball but struggling to score touchdowns, Grupe offers a strong floor and high-upside production for fantasy rosters.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has not missed a kick in seven consecutive weeks, and he'll look to extend his streak of perfection to eight games during Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie missed in each of his first two games this year, but he has performed without a blemish ever since then. He has benefited from a steady increase in workload, and it has also worked out well that the Patriots' offense is playing at a high level and sets him up for plenty of shorter kicks. Of course, the University of Miami product has shown success from long range, too, converting from beyond 50 yards twice this year. The Buccaneers' defense might slow down the Patriots a little more than they're used to, but we still expect solid volume for New England and its kicker in Week 10. Borregales ranks as the #15 kicker in this week's RotoBaller expert fantasy rankings.
