Chris Boswell News
Wednesday, September 30, 6:05 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was busy in Week 3, drilling all three of his extra-point tries and all three of his field goal attempts in a 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. It was a surprising breakout for Boswell, who had limited opportunities amid Pittsburgh's offensive struggles through the first two weeks. While it's difficult to project the Steelers to score consistently on a weekly basis, fantasy managers should feel fairly confident deploying Boswell against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. Through the first three weeks, Cleveland has given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. That makes sense considering the Browns have surrendered just four red-zone touchdowns despite allowing over 340 yards of offense per contest. In what projects to be a low-scoring affair, Boswell could very well lead the way for the Steelers on Thursday night, making him a top-12 option at the position for fantasy purposes.

Jake Elliott News
Saturday, September 26, 12:43 PM
It has not been a particularly busy couple of weeks for Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott to begin the 2026 season, but he is yet to miss a kick. He's made both of his field goal attempts - one in each game - and has made all six of his extra point attempts thus far. The biggest positive for Elliott so far this season is that he made a 58-yard field goal against the Tennessee Titans last week. Kicking from distance has been a struggle for Elliott, as he made just four out of his eight attempts from 50 yards or more in 2025 and connected on just one of his seven tries from 50-plus yards in 2024 (5-for-15, 33.3%, over that two-year span). The Eagles haven't needed to rely on Elliott much in 2026, but it is early. He checks in as RotoBaller's No. 16 kicker for a Week 3 matchup with the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. According to RotoBaller, Elliott has a matchup rating of 92.0 and is projected to score 7.5 points this week. Elliott is currently rostered in just 8% of Yahoo leagues, so he is likely available for those looking for a streaming option. However, his volume is a bit too low to make an impact right now. Fantasy managers could do worse than Elliott, but there are likely better options available at kicker.
