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 lacked fantasy appeal through the first six games of his NFL career, but he has emerged as a low-end streamer for Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. Borregales has two factors working in his favor this Sunday. First of all, he has kicked quite well lately, going 10-for-10 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals over his last four games. The field goal sample size is relatively small, which has lowered his ceiling, but you can't gripe about a 100 percent accuracy rate. Second, the Patriots should find themselves in scoring position quite often against the Titans. Extra points may be more common than field goals, but still, volume is king, and Borregales should be busy on Sunday. Borregales ranks as the #16 kicker in RotoBaller's expert rankings, giving him low-end streaming appeal in deeper leagues.
