Who Should I Start? Jude McAtamney or Andy Borregales

Saturday, October 18, 3:12 AM

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney is an extremely low-floor option and should be avoided in all but the deepest fantasy formats for his Week 7 road contest. McAtamney has minimal history to rely on, having scored only nine total fantasy points across his three appearances with a 100% field goal rate on two attempts but missing an Extra Point against the Eagles. Unfortunately, the Denver Broncos are a difficult matchup for opposing kickers, as they rank 23rd in fantasy points allowed to the position, limiting kickers to a meager 9.5 points per game. Given the Giants' implied total of only 16.75 points and the Broncos' elite Red Zone Defense, which ranks 1st in the NFL, McAtamney is not projected to see the high-value scoring opportunities needed to be fantasy-relevant this week.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has lacked fantasy appeal through the first six games of his NFL career, but he has emerged as a low-end streamer for Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. Borregales has two factors working in his favor this Sunday. First of all, he has kicked quite well lately, going 10-for-10 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals over his last four games. The field goal sample size is relatively small, which has lowered his ceiling, but you can't gripe about a 100 percent accuracy rate. Second, the Patriots should find themselves in scoring position quite often against the Titans. Extra points may be more common than field goals, but still, volume is king, and Borregales should be busy on Sunday. Borregales ranks as the #16 kicker in RotoBaller's expert rankings, giving him low-end streaming appeal in deeper leagues.
