Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Chris Boswell

Monday, September 15, 3:12 PM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater had his second straight perfect game in a 30-10 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Prater hit all three of his field goals, including a 52-yarder, and went 3-for-3 on extra points. Filling in for the injured Tyler Bass (groin), the 41-year-old Prater has opened the season 6-for-6 on field goals and five out of five on PATs. Despite that, the two-time Pro Bowler remains available in 88% of Yahoo leagues in advance of a Thursday matchup with the winless Miami Dolphins. They've already allowed 66 points in two games, and the Bills have scored 71, meaning Prater should be in line for another productive game in Week 3. He looks like an enticing option for fantasy managers who need a kicker.

In the season opener, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell picked up right where he left off in 2024, drilling two field goals and four extra points. Most notably, he set a franchise record with a 60-yarder that gave Pittsburgh a 34-32 lead with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter. Boswell will look to carry this momentum into a Week 2 meeting with the Seattle Seahawks, who fared well against fantasy kickers last season. Despite the matchup and modest projected point total, Boswell's consistency keeps him in play as a reliable starter across all formats.
