Nick Folk a Middling Week 5 Option

Saturday, October 4, 2:08 PM

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk will look to continue his flawless kicking in Week 5 when his team squares off against the Dallas Cowboys at home. Folk is a perfect 14-for-14 this season (seven field goals), as he's now missed just three total kicks since the start of 2023. The veteran has been as reliable as anyone in 2025, but New York's low scoring volume has hindered him from becoming an elite fantasy option. With the Cowboys' offense pushing the pace of play and putting up the fifth-most points per game in the league (28.5), a productive week is in Folk's range of outcomes. However, the Jets' bottom-half offense and potential to bottom out make the 40-year-old a risky option for fantasy. He's RotoBaller's K22 ahead of Week 5.

Cairo Santos Slow Start Makes Him Hard to Trust Against Las Vegas

Saturday, September 27, 12:44 PM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has had a quiet start to his 17th NFL season, making just two field goals and adding 10 extra points through three games. He currently ranks 29th in fantasy points among kickers, despite Chicago's offense performing well. Head coach Ben Johnson's aggressive approach (going for four fourth downs in field-goal range in the first three games) has limited Santos' opportunities. Week 4 brings a potential high-scoring matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, which could lead to more attempts. Still, his lack of production early in 2025 makes him unstartable in most fantasy formats this week.
