Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell nailed all four of his field goal attempts and was successful on both of his extra-point tries in a 26-18 win over the New York Giants. Boswell has now been perfect for five straight weeks and has drilled all but one of his 24 field goal attempts this season. With the Steelers' offense clicking as of late, Boswell offers a more consistent ceiling than he was thought to have been capable of to start the campaign. Pittsburgh has a bye in Week 9, meaning he will be dropped by some fantasy managers in need of a kicker to fill in, but Boswell is arguably worth holding onto as the leader in fantasy points at the position through eight weeks.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived kicker Rodrigo Blankenship on Monday. Blankenship lost the kicking battle to Chase McLaughlin in training camp this summer and will now look to latch on with another team before the start of the 2023 regular season. The 26-year-old spent last year with the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals, going 4-for-5 on his field-goal tries and 4-for-5 on extra points in just three total games. As long as Tampa doesn't bring in more competition for McLaughlin to close out the preseason, he should enter Week 1 as the team's starting kicker. McLaughlin, 27, made 83.3 percent of his 36 field-goal attempts and made all 21 of his extra-point tries in 16 games with the Indianapolis Colts in 2022. The kicking position in Tampa won't be as exciting in fantasy now that Tom Brady isn't running the offense in 2023.
