Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Chad Ryland

Saturday, September 27, 7:42 PM

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk enters his Week 4 contest with the hosting Miami Dolphins perfect across all of his attempts on the season. The veteran has continued to demonstrate his reliability, drilling all five of his field goal attempts - including two from 50-plus - and is 6-for-6 on extra-point tries. New York has been a middle-of-the-pack team in terms of scoring (23 points per game), which is essentially the only thing holding Folk back from being fantasy-relevant. He could see a brief surge in fantasy points in Week 4, as Miami has been one of the more vulnerable defenses so far in 2025. However, there are other options out there that are better suited for fantasy lineups. Folk is RotoBaller's K27 ahead of Week 4's slate of games.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland should be viewed as a middle-of-the-pack kicking option when his team takes on the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. So far this season, the Seahawks rank 10th against kickers, while Ryland is the No. 13 fantasy kicker, making Thursday an average matchup at best. The third-year kicker made 88% of his field goal attempts last season and is off to a solid 6-for-8 start this season, keeping him on the fringes of being a fantasy starter in deeper leagues. This week, however, managers should look for a stronger starting candidate.
