Matt Prater Will Kick in Divisional Round in Denver

Thursday, January 15, 3:53 PM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater (quadriceps, calf) has been cleared to kick in the Divisional Round this Saturday against his former team, the Denver Broncos. Prater was held out of Tuesday's practice, was a full-go on Wednesday, and was limited on Thursday. The 41-year-old veteran aggravated a quad injury in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the New York Jets, but he was active last weekend and handled field goals and extra points in the Wild-Card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Prater made both of his field goals (one from 50-plus yards) and all three of his extra points against the Jags. He'll have the thin air in Denver to his advantage on Saturday, but at less than 100% in a tough matchup, Prater is on the lower end of kicking options this weekend. The Broncos allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to placekickers in 2025.

Chris Boswell News

Chris Boswell A Reliable Fantasy Option in Week 7

Friday, October 23, 6:54 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was busy in Week 6, converting four of five field goal attempts and both extra-point tries in a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He should remain an important part of Pittsburgh's offense against the New Orleans Saints in Paris on Sunday. New Orleans has been a top-15 matchup for kickers this season and is allowing the most points per game to opposing offenses. While Pittsburgh's offense isn't among the NFL's most prolific units, it has averaged more than 28 points per game since Week 3. Fantasy managers can confidently start Boswell as a top-10 kicker in this international showdown.
