Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Ka'imi Fairbairn

Wednesday, October 15, 9:59 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his extra-point tries and went three-for-four on field goal attempts in a Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns. His lone miss came on a 54-yard try, as the 11th-year veteran slipped on less-than-ideal field conditions. Boswell should remain steady as usual against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. The Bengals are one of just three teams in the NFL allowing over 30 points per game through six weeks, so if Pittsburgh's offense continues to move the ball effectively, Boswell should have plenty of opportunities to contribute. He checks in as a top-10 option in RotoBaller's Week 7 fantasy rankings.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn had made 11 of his 13 field goal attempts this season and all nine of his extra point attempts. He and the Texans return from their bye week to face the Seahawks on Monday night, so he'll be kicking outside in the weather. Both of his misses this year have come from over 50 yards out, but he has also converted five kicks of 50+ yards. In week 5, he went a perfect 3-for-3 with two field goals from over 50 yards and made all five of his extra points as the Texans rolled past the Ravens, 44-10. The Seahawks have been one of the 10 toughest matchups for kickers, but Fairbairn is still reliable enough to be the K9 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.
