Who Should I Start? Jude McAtamney or Andy Borregales

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants are having trouble keeping kickers healthy as they're now on the third kicker. Graham Gano (quad) suffered an injury during the season opener which allowed Greg Joseph (abdomen) to get into the picture, but now he's on the injured reserve. The assumption is that McAtamney will remain the kicker for a few games, assuming he does well. He won't be an ideal streaming option given the Giants struggles on offense this season.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales will make his NFL debut this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, but he's not a reliable fantasy football option at this time. In addition to the fact that Borregales has never attempted a regular-season kick in the NFL, he also starts his career in a Gillette Stadium environment that could be dealing with light rain and wind on Sunday. Furthermore, while the Patriots' offense is trending upward, they lack the type of firepower that would essentially guarantee Borregales has multiple scoring opportunities every game. For now, the University of Miami product ranks near the bottom of the fantasy kicker rankings.
