Who Should I Start? Chad Ryland or Andy Borregales

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland has bounced all around the fantasy kicker leaderboards this season, which makes sense given how inconsistent this offense can be. In Week 7, he finished as the K5, which was his highest finish since Week 4. Now, after their bye, the Cardinals are set to take on the Dallas Cowboys, who have given up far too many points to almost every team they've faced. That also makes them the 20th-ranked team against opposing kickers, allowing 8.75 fantasy points per matchup. Since Jacoby Brissett has been a bit more successful at moving the ball down the field, Ryland could be in for another solid week, and that makes him a startable option again for those looking for a bye week fill-in.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. Borregales underperformed to start the season, but he has come around lately with more attempts and more confidence from long range, both of which can be attributed to the rookie and his coaches. The Miami product is 9-for-10 on field goals and 18-for-20 on extra points so far, ranking as the overall K22 through seven weeks. Borregales' recent improvement is encouraging, but factors like a non-domed stadium and a matchup against a solid defense make him tough to trust. After all, the Browns have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. Borregales is avoidable in most leagues, but he does have some low-end appeal in deeper formats.
