Who Should I Start? Joshua Karty or Andy Borregales

Wednesday, November 5, 9:39 PM

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty is facing competition for the starting kicking gig, according to head coach Sean McVay. The organization will have Harrison Mevis compete for the kicking job with Karty ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Karty had a strong rookie campaign where he connected on 84.3 percent of his field goal attempts. The 23-year-old is having a much more difficult time during his sophomore season. Karty is 10-for-15 on field goal attempts, while missing three additional extra point kicks. Mevis hasn't kicked in the NFL before and was signed onto the practice squad this week. Neither kicker is an ideal option for the Week 10 contest against the 49ers.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales should continue to be a reliable scoring option during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. After a shaky start to the season, Borregales has found his footing and rattled off an impressive eight-game streak of perfect kicks. During that span, he's 26-for-26 on extra points and 9-for-9 on field goals. He still ranks as the overall K15 this year due to the Patriots' relatively lower frequency of field goal attempts, but managers should remain confident that the kicker will deliver when called upon. In fact, we could see him get more involved this week against the Jets, who have allowed 26.8 offensive points per game (seventh-most in the NFL). From a fantasy perspective, they've allowed the NFL's most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers at 10.8, which is a full point higher than the second-worst team. All the stars are aligning for Borregales to have a big showing on Thursday Night Football. He's a top-12 kicking option heading into Week 11.
