Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Andy Borregales

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will hope to build upon a stellar 2024 campaign when he opens the season against the New York Jets in Week 1. While there isn't expected to be an abundance of points scored in Sunday's contest, it's worth noting that New York surrendered the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers last year. If Pittsburgh's offense struggles to finish drives in quarterback Aaron Rodgers' debut, Boswell could be called upon early and often. It's not the most appealing spot to start a kicker, but fantasy managers could do much worse than Boswell in Week 1.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales will make his NFL debut this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, but he's not a reliable fantasy football option at this time. In addition to the fact that Borregales has never attempted a regular-season kick in the NFL, he also starts his career in a Gillette Stadium environment that could be dealing with light rain and wind on Sunday. Furthermore, while the Patriots' offense is trending upward, they lack the type of firepower that would essentially guarantee Borregales has multiple scoring opportunities every game. For now, the University of Miami product ranks near the bottom of the fantasy kicker rankings.
