Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Chris Boswell

Saturday, September 27, 12:44 PM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has had a quiet start to his 17th NFL season, making just two field goals and adding 10 extra points through three games. He currently ranks 29th in fantasy points among kickers, despite Chicago's offense performing well. Head coach Ben Johnson's aggressive approach (going for four fourth downs in field-goal range in the first three games) has limited Santos' opportunities. Week 4 brings a potential high-scoring matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, which could lead to more attempts. Still, his lack of production early in 2025 makes him unstartable in most fantasy formats this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was limited to extra-point duties in Week 3's win over the New England Patriots but will look for more opportunities against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The Vikings have been stout defensively this season, especially near the red zone, allowing just four offensive touchdowns but seven field goals -- tied for sixth-most in the NFL. With quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers' offense still finding its footing, this international matchup in Dublin, Ireland is projected to be a low-scoring affair. That puts Boswell in a position to play a key role on Sunday morning and remain a must-start fantasy option.
