Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Eddy Piñeiro

Saturday, November 15, 1:02 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell had an uncharacteristically rough outing in Week 10, hitting his lone extra-point try but converting on just one of his two field goal attempts in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. His miss from 45 yards was a rare slip for the veteran, who is typically automatic from inside 50 yards when weather and field conditions aren't a factor. Fortunately, he's in a great spot to bounce back at home against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Sunday's contest carries a high projected point total, setting the stage for plenty of scoring opportunities. The 34-year-old checks in as a top-three option in RotoBaller's kicker rankings this week and should remain locked into fantasy lineups.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is considered week-to-week after suffering a Grade 1 hamstring strain in the Week 11 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. With Pineiro hurt, the 49ers will hold kicker tryouts this week. Lombardi mentions that the Niners could reunite with Jake Moody and sign him off the Chicago Bears' practice squad. San Fran doesn't currently have another placekicker on their roster. The 30-year-old Pineiro had been money for the 49ers this year before his injury, making all 22 of his field-goal attempts, including all six from 50-plus yards, and 18 of his 22 extra-point tries in 10 games. The team will have a bit of extra time to find a new kicker going into their Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers next Monday night.
