Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Andy Borregales

Saturday, November 22, 9:59 AM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is coming off his best game of the season in Week 11, knocking down four of five field goals, including the game-winner to beat the division rival Minnesota Vikings. It's been an up-and-down year for Santos, who's fought through injuries and kicker controversy with Jake Moody earlier in the year. With Moody in Washington and the injuries behind the veteran kicker, Santos will look to fire off a strong finish to his 12th season. He faces a great matchup in Week 12, against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to kickers this season. With good weather expected and a ton of confidence, Santos is worth starting in Week 12.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has been a spectacular fantasy option lately, and he's surging at just the right time as managers prepare for the opening round of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. The rookie has gone 10-for-12 on field goals and 8-for-8 on extra points over his last three games. While he has missed a kick in two of those three contests, his high volume of field-goal attempts has made up for a slight reduction in overall accuracy. With that being said, Borregales' matchup this week is on the tougher side, as Buffalo has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. He could also deal with uncertain weather; there's expected to be snow tapering off shortly after kickoff, along with cold temperatures. On a positive note, Sunday's game isn't expected to feature much wind. Borregales' floor may be a little lower than in past weeks, but he still has high upside. As a result, he ranks as the #11 kicker in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings. He can be started in most leagues, especially as New England's offense continues to get into scoring range quite often.
