Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Joshua Karty

Monday, October 21, 12:50 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell nailed all three of his field goal attempts and converted on all four of his extra-point tries in a 37-15 victory against the New York Jets. The Steelers offense got off to a slow start but quickly picked up momentum, pushing the ball downfield and generating an abundance of opportunities for Boswell. He has been one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL this season and has provided value for fantasy purposes. If Pittsburgh can continue putting up points at this rate, Boswell will project as a must-start on a weekly basis. He can be confidently deployed against the New York Giants in Week 8.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty has been limited by the Rams' offensive struggles without star wide receivers Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) on the field. This has resulted in Karty having among the fewest amount of kicks in the league, with just 10 field goal tries and eight extra point attempts. Karty has been dependable when given the opportunity, converting 90% of his field goals. However, he's also one of the few kickers in the league who has missed at least one extra-point attempt this season. After last week's bye, Karty is ranked as the 15th kicker versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the Rams' offense, Karty is more of a streamer in deep-league formats against the Raiders.
