Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Joshua Karty

Saturday, November 1, 1:43 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled all four of his field goal attempts, including three from over 50 yards out, and converted his lone extra-point try in a Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 34-year-old remains a dependable fantasy option against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. Although the Colts haven't given up many fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, this contest is projected to feature upwards of 50 total points scored. If it turns into a shootout, Boswell should be plenty involved as the Steelers aim to keep pace with Indianapolis' high-flying offense. Fantasy managers can count on Boswell as a top-10 option once again on Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty has a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9, but he is tough to trust in fantasy lineups following an underwhelming stretch of games. The 23-year-old is 9-for-10 on extra points over his last three contests, but he's just 2-for-4 on field goals during that span. He has just 10 total field goals in 2025 and ranks as the overall K25 to this point. On a positive note, the Saints have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to kickers this season, and RotoBaller's expert rankings have Karty listed as the #6 kicker in Week 9, so perhaps he can bounce back after the bye week. However, managers are advised to peruse the waiver wire for more consistent kickers with better recent track records before settling on someone like Karty purely based on matchup.
