Who Should I Start? Daniel Carlson or Andy Borregales

Friday, September 26, 2:59 PM

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson is coming off a quiet Week 3 with just one field goal attempt, but the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bears projects to provide much more scoring opportunity. The Raiders offense has been moving the ball effectively, ranking inside the top 10 in passing yards, and a high-paced game environment should set Carlson up for multiple attempts. After producing starter-worthy numbers in the first two weeks, Carlson remains firmly in play as a low-end K1 and is a strong streaming choice for fantasy managers seeking stability at the kicker position in Week 4.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has struggled through his first two NFL games, going 4-for-5 on field goals and just 2-for-4 on extra points so far. The rookie has failed to establish himself as a reliable fantasy option. Instead, he's near the bottom of fantasy rankings and could be a couple more poor games away from fighting for his job. The Patriots' opponent this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers, have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this year, ranking near the league median. However, even if they had allowed the most fantasy points to kickers, Borregales wouldn't be worth trusting. He needs to establish more kicking consistency before he climbs back onto the fantasy radar. He can be dropped in all leagues.
