Who Should I Start? Harrison Mevis or Andy Borregales

Saturday, November 22, 4:54 PM

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has been perfect in two games with his new team, but without attempting a field goal yet, he's tougher to trust in fantasy football. He's now 9-for-9 on extra points through two weeks, but without any attempts from longer range, he hasn't been able to rack up significant fantasy totals. With that being said, the Rams have one of the strongest offenses in football, which means scoring opportunities aren't hard to come by. Lately, their scoring drives have been resulting in touchdowns rather than stalling in field-goal range. This is a great problem to have if you're the Rams, but fantasy managers invested in Mevis' success would like to see him attempt some field goals sooner rather than later. It's only a matter of time before that happens, but it's not guaranteed this week; the Bucs have allowed the fourth-fewest field goal attempts to opposing kickers in 2025. Although Mevis has top-12 upside in the Rams' high-scoring offense, he's a very risky option. Managers should look for safer kickers who have an equally high ceiling when setting their Week 12 lineups.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales saw his eight-week streak of perfection come to an end last weekend, but he remains a high-scoring option for Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. After a quieter start to the year, Borregales has emerged as a reliable weekly fantasy option. He's now 31-for-33 on extra points and 15-for-17 on field goals, including two from 50+ yards out. The 23-year-old rookie should continue to be started in most fantasy leagues, as he ranks #6 among kickers in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings. He stands to benefit from a decent matchup against the Bengals, who have allowed the 14th-most fantasy points to kickers in 2025 and surrendered 10 kicking points to Chris Boswell just last week.
