Who Should I Start? Blake Grupe or Andy Borregales

Friday, September 19, 11:53 PM

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe missed his only field goal attempt from 40 yards in the 26-21 loss to the 49ers in Week 2. He is now 2-for-4 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points on the season. Grupe looks to rebound against the Seahawks, who allowed Chris Boswell to convert three field goals from 40+ yards last week. Despite the matchup, Grupe can remain off fantasy radars this week.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has struggled through his first two NFL games, going 4-for-5 on field goals and just 2-for-4 on extra points so far. The rookie has failed to establish himself as a reliable fantasy option. Instead, he's near the bottom of fantasy rankings and could be a couple more poor games away from fighting for his job. The Patriots' opponent this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers, have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this year, ranking near the league median. However, even if they had allowed the most fantasy points to kickers, Borregales wouldn't be worth trusting. He needs to establish more kicking consistency before he climbs back onto the fantasy radar. He can be dropped in all leagues.
