Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Anders Carlson

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest versus the division-rival Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. For insurance in case he can't go, the team plans to bring up Brayden Narveson from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster for the weekend. The 40-year-old veteran has been basically automatic this year for a lackluster Titans offense, but he apparently came out of the Week 15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with an injury and may not be able to kick in Week 16. Folk has made 21 of his 22 field-goal tries in 2024 and has been successful on all 25 of his extra-point tries as well. However, because of his injury and in an offense that will start Mason Rudolph at quarterback this weekend, fantasy managers will want to avoid Folk.

New York Jets kicker Anders Carlson made one of his two field-goal attempts and added three extra points in a Week 15 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Carlson will look to keep it going at home against the Los Angeles Rams. The Ram have been generous to kickers this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, the Jets' kickers have not been a fantasy goldmine this season. Treat Carlson as a low-end option heading into Week 16 against the Rams despite the plus matchup.
