Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Chris Boswell

Saturday, September 30, 2:13 AM

In Week 4, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater as he lines up against the San Francisco 49ers. Prater has been remarkable over the first three weeks of the season, boasting a total of 32 fantasy points. In Weeks one and three, Prater nailed 12 fantasy points against a pair of solid defenses in Washington and Dallas. His powerful kicks combined with a Cardinals' offense that will most likely have trouble moving the ball against a formidable San Francisco defense could result in a solid week for the veteran. As an above-average option at the kicking position, don't be afraid to start him.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell had a solid performance in Week 2 and will look to stay perfect on the season in a Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite his consistency as an NFL kicker, there is little upside to starting Boswell in fantasy lineups. The Steelers are averaging just 16.5 points per game and were forced to rely on big defensive plays to win last week. Boswell could conceivably have a busy day against the Raiders, who are allowing the eighth-most points in the league, but fantasy managers should wait to see improvements from Pittsburgh's offense before considering him a streaming option.
