Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Andy Borregales

Friday, October 24, 11:01 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had his first missed field goal of the season against the Vikings as a 42-yard attempt sailed wide right in the fourth quarter. He did, however, make all four of his extra points. As it stands, Elliott is already an unreliable fantasy kicker with his lack of attempts, and he's even more unappealing if he starts missing. The Eagles will host the Giants in Week 8, and New York allows 25.3 points per game-10th-most in the league. But even with a below-average defense, Elliott has not shown that he's start-worthy in fantasy.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. Borregales underperformed to start the season, but he has come around lately with more attempts and more confidence from long range, both of which can be attributed to the rookie and his coaches. The Miami product is 9-for-10 on field goals and 18-for-20 on extra points so far, ranking as the overall K22 through seven weeks. Borregales' recent improvement is encouraging, but factors like a non-domed stadium and a matchup against a solid defense make him tough to trust. After all, the Browns have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. Borregales is avoidable in most leagues, but he does have some low-end appeal in deeper formats.
