Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Joshua Karty

Saturday, December 13, 1:15 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his field goal attempts and converted all three extra-point tries in a Week 14 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. This week, he'll face a more difficult challenge against the Miami Dolphins. Miami's defense has stepped up as of late, surrendering just over 13 points per game across its past four contests. Additionally, cold temperatures and strong winds on Monday night could pose problems for both the Steelers' offense and Boswell. With this AFC showdown projected to be relatively low-scoring, fantasy managers may want to consider other options in more appealing matchups. Still, Boswell remains one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL and can be trusted as such in Week 15.

The Los Angeles Rams signed kicker Joshua Karty back to their practice squad on Monday, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Karty was waived last Friday by the Rams after being benched for rookie Harrison Mevis, but the 23-year-old will now return to the practice squad as an insurance option for now. In his second year in the NFL, Karty has struggled, going 10-for-15 on his field-goal tries and 23-for-26 on his extra-point opportunities through eight games. Mevis, meanwhile, has gone a perfect 2-for-2 on field goals and 17-for-17 on extra points with the Rams in his first four games. The 23-year-old has been money so far and has jumped onto the fantasy radar quickly at the kicking position because of the high-octane offense in L.A., but they don't often have to settle for field goals, which also limits his upside.
