Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Andy Borregales

Friday, October 17, 9:15 PM

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk is a low-end fantasy option for his team's contest with the visiting Carolina Panthers in Week 7. As has been the case all season, the veteran was perfect in Week 6, knocking through all three of his field goal attempts - a season-high. Carolina's defense has been stingy in the yardage department, but they're a bottom-half team in terms of scoring and one of the worst NFL teams regarding red zone efficiency. With that said, New York's offense may have trouble matriculating the ball sans its WR1 in Garrett Wilson. Folk has been excellent when called upon, and would be a reliable option if the Jets could find more offensive consistency. However, he again won't be a recommended fantasy asset despite what should be a juicy matchup. The 40-year-old is RotoBaller's K25 for this weekend's slate of games.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has lacked fantasy appeal through the first six games of his NFL career, but he has emerged as a low-end streamer for Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. Borregales has two factors working in his favor this Sunday. First of all, he has kicked quite well lately, going 10-for-10 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals over his last four games. The field goal sample size is relatively small, which has lowered his ceiling, but you can't gripe about a 100 percent accuracy rate. Second, the Patriots should find themselves in scoring position quite often against the Titans. Extra points may be more common than field goals, but still, volume is king, and Borregales should be busy on Sunday. Borregales ranks as the #16 kicker in RotoBaller's expert rankings, giving him low-end streaming appeal in deeper leagues.
