Who Should I Start? Jason Sanders or Andy Borregales

According to Miami Dolphins special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman, the team is uncertain if placekicker Jason Sanders (hip) is close to a return, or if he'll even be available to play in the 2025 campaign. Sanders sustained a hip injury leading up to the start of the regular season, but it appears to be worse than initially thought, as he was expected back after Week 5 but has yet to begin practicing. Considering the team's lack of knowledge regarding his progression and Riley Patterson's excellence working in his stead, it wouldn't be surprising if the 29-year-old didn't kick again until 2026. Fantasy managers can safely drop Sanders if he was being held onto.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales carries spectacular momentum into Monday's Week 13 contest against the New York Giants. The rookie had the best game of his young career last weekend, going 2-for-2 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals, including one from beyond 50 yards out. As a result, he was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week and is now the 10th-highest-scoring fantasy kicker in 2025. Borregales' big game wasn't a fluke, and he should carry his momentum into another strong performance on Monday night. The Giants have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to kickers in 2025, and they most recently let Jake Bates of the Lions go 4-for-4 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals, including one from at least 50 yards. Borregales' kicking skills, favorable matchup, and role in a high-scoring offense make him a very appealing fantasy option for Week 13 against the Giants. He currently ranks as the overall K8 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.
