Who Should I Start? Chase McLaughlin or Andy Borregales

Friday, September 12, 6:24 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin didn't have great results during the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons last week. He went 1-for-2 on field goal attempts and 2-for-3 on extra point attempts in the win. McLaughlin missed a 44-yard field goal in the third quarter and snagged an extra point attempt in the fourth quarter. Not an ideal outing for McLaughlin, but he deserves the benefit of the doubt after missing only two field goals all of last season. He figures to remain busy given the Bucs high-powered offense. Fantasy managers should continue to ride with him as a streaming option for the Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans on Monday night.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales remains off the fantasy radar after missing a kick in his NFL debut last weekend. While this week's matchup against the Miami Dolphins should present plenty of scoring opportunities, Borregales' miss from 40 yards out last week indicates that nothing is a sure thing when he swings his leg through the football. The rookie is still working through growing pains, and those will need to work themselves out before the Miami product becomes a dependable top-15 option in fantasy football. For now, you can find better and more dependable options on the waiver wire.
