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 remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. Borregales underperformed to start the season, but he has come around lately with more attempts and more confidence from long range, both of which can be attributed to the rookie and his coaches. The Miami product is 9-for-10 on field goals and 18-for-20 on extra points so far, ranking as the overall K22 through seven weeks. Borregales' recent improvement is encouraging, but factors like a non-domed stadium and a matchup against a solid defense make him tough to trust. After all, the Browns have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. Borregales is avoidable in most leagues, but he does have some low-end appeal in deeper formats.
