Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Tyler Bass

Saturday, October 25, 1:59 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled all four of his extra-point tries and converted his lone field goal in a Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He should be equally, if not more, involved in a Week 8 showdown with the Green Bay Packers. Sunday night's contest is expected to be a closely contested, moderately high-scoring affair. Green Bay has been solid defensively this season and has done a good job keeping opponents out of the end zone, surrendering the eighth-fewest touchdowns per contest. That should set up additional field-goal opportunities for Boswell, who remains a steady fantasy option at home. The 34-year-old comes in at No. 10 in RotoBaller's kicker rankings this week and should remain in starting lineups.

While Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott remained non-committal on whether kicker Tyler Bass (groin, hip) would be able to play this season, he did say that he is "heading in the right direction," according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Bass remains on Injured Reserve, and the Bills didn't feel comfortable opening his 21-day practice window this week, which means he will not be ready to return for Monday night's contest in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Bills probably aren't in any rush to bring the 28-year-old Bass back, with veteran Matt Prater being a reliable fill-in through the first five weeks of 2025. Prater has gone 10-for-15 on his field-goal chances while making all 15 of his extra-point opportunities for the 4-1 Bills. When/if Bass is fully healthy and ready to resume kicking, he should take back over as Buffalo's starting placekicker.
