Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Cameron Dicker

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.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker, who has missed only two field goals all season, remains a highly accurate and reliable fantasy option. This week, he heads to Jacksonville, where the game is expected to be played in pleasant 77-degree sunny weather at kickoff, ideal conditions for a kicker. Against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has shown vulnerability to allowing points, Dicker should get multiple scoring opportunities. His consistent accuracy, combined with favorable game conditions, makes him a high-floor starter. Dicker is projected as K6 this week and is a must-start in all formats.
