Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Joshua Karty

Saturday, September 13, 12:17 AM

In the season opener, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell picked up right where he left off in 2024, drilling two field goals and four extra points. Most notably, he set a franchise record with a 60-yarder that gave Pittsburgh a 34-32 lead with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter. Boswell will look to carry this momentum into a Week 2 meeting with the Seattle Seahawks, who fared well against fantasy kickers last season. Despite the matchup and modest projected point total, Boswell's consistency keeps him in play as a reliable starter across all formats.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty is a fringe top-12 fantasy option heading into Sunday's season opener against the Houston Texans. With a strong offense in place, Los Angeles should be able to move the football quite well, even against an above-average Texans defense. This should lead to several field goal and extra point opportunities for Karty, who went 29-for-34 on field goals and 32-for-36 on extra points as a rookie last year. SoFi Stadium's ability to protect kicks from elements such as wind also benefits Karty, especially if he attempts any long-distance kicks on Sunday. RotoBaller's experts have the Stanford product ranked as the overall K11 this week, making him startable in leagues with at least 12 teams.
