Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his extra-point tries and went three-for-four on field goal attempts in a Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns. His lone miss came on a 54-yard try, as the 11th-year veteran slipped on less-than-ideal field conditions. Boswell should remain steady as usual against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. The Bengals are one of just three teams in the NFL allowing over 30 points per game through six weeks, so if Pittsburgh's offense continues to move the ball effectively, Boswell should have plenty of opportunities to contribute. He checks in as a top-10 option in RotoBaller's Week 7 fantasy rankings.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson draws a challenging matchup in Week 7 versus the Kansas City Chiefs, making him a risky fantasy start. The Chiefs have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers this season and continue to limit scoring opportunities with one of the league's stingiest defenses. Meanwhile, Geno Smith and the Raiders offense have struggled to sustain drives or finish in scoring position, further capping Carlson's upside. While the veteran remains a very accurate kicker, his lack of opportunity makes him tough to trust in fantasy lineups this week. Managers should consider streaming a kicker from a more favorable offensive environment until the Raiders show more consistency.
