Nick Folk Not Consistent Enough to Rely on for Fantasy

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.

Brandon McManus Questionable to Play in Week 8

Friday, October 24, 6:49 PM

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (quad) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. McManus has been limited in practice for each of the last two games. He has missed the last two games, but is hopeful to play this weekend. Lucas Havrisik has been the starting kicker in his place over the last two weeks. The 26-year-old has been perfect on all his kicks and could be a possible streaming option if McManus remains sidelined for a third straight week.
