Who Should I Start? Matt Gay or Andy Borregales

Saturday, November 8, 5:48 PM

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay has been mediocre this season, making 10 of his 14 field goal attempts and nailing all 20 extra points. Gay has struggled from attempts north of 50 yards for his career, and that's continued this season, with three of his four misses coming from attempts 50 yards or longer. The 31-year-old's 71.4% field goal percentage ranks 30th in the league out of 33 qualified kickers, well below the league average of 83.6%. Gay could be a decent option in Week 10 versus the Lions in one of the highest projected games of the week, but Washington's offense also has less juice with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) out for multiple weeks.

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.
