Nick Folk a Viable Streamer in Potential High-Scoring Contest

Saturday, October 17, 8:46 AM

Atlanta Falcons kicker Nick Folk was 3-for-3 on field goal attempts last week, making him 6-for-6 over the last three weeks (9-for-12 overall) while going 12-for-12 on extra points so far this season. The veteran's recent success can be partly attributed to the fact that he hasn't had a field goal try longer than 50 yards since Week 2, with two of his three misses this season coming from 50-plus. The 41-year-old may not be the best streaming option in leagues that reward longer field goals, but there have been many more opportunities for points since Michael Penix Jr. took over at the helm for Atlanta, and this week's matchup against the Bears has one of the highest over/unders on the slate (52.5), so Folk looks like a viable streamer for those managers in need of a kicker this week. He's ranked as the No. 19 kicker overall at RotoBaller for Week 6.

Andy Borregales News

Andy Borregales Carries His Low Floor Into Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 2:16 PM

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has been an uninspiring fantasy option this season, ranking 29th at his position in terms of fantasy points so far. The 23-year-old is just 5-for-7 on field goals through four weeks, as well as 6-for-6 on extra points. Between a couple of missed kicks and a generally lower field goal volume, Borregales has become tough to trust in his second pro season. Last week's Patriots win suggested that the offense is trending in the right direction. Normally, that would boost a kicker's fantasy value, but the Miami product had just three fantasy points in the victory. Managers can find stronger streaming options elsewhere ahead of Week 5.
