Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Will Reichard

Saturday, September 13, 12:17 AM

In the season opener, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell picked up right where he left off in 2024, drilling two field goals and four extra points. Most notably, he set a franchise record with a 60-yarder that gave Pittsburgh a 34-32 lead with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter. Boswell will look to carry this momentum into a Week 2 meeting with the Seattle Seahawks, who fared well against fantasy kickers last season. Despite the matchup and modest projected point total, Boswell's consistency keeps him in play as a reliable starter across all formats.

Kicker Will Reichard of the Minnesota Vikings faces a middle-of-the-road matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. The second-year kicker had a strong opening week in which he converted two field goal attempts at Chicago, including a key 59-yarder that helped Minnesota get something out of a poor first half offensively. Now back in the friendlier confines of indoor U.S. Bank Stadium, Reichard and the Vikings will take on a Falcons defense that held Tampa Bay to 260 yards of total offense in Week 1. Reichard has been solid when healthy, but the Vikings' offense is likely to be hot-and-cold as they break in a first-time starting quarterback this season.
