Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Charlie Smyth

Saturday, December 6, 1:44 AM

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk should continue to be a reliable option in Week 14's home matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Folk has been superb when called upon in 2025, missing all but one of his field goal tries (22-of-23) and connecting on each of his 18 extra-point attempts. Even at the age of 41, the veteran's leg is no worse for wear, drilling six kicks of 50-plus yards, including last weekend's 56-yard game-winner. Unfortunately, New York's (lack of) scoring offense has held him back from being amongst the league leaders in points. Still, he'll get an opportunity to be a viable fantasy asset in Sunday's outing with the visiting Dolphins. The Jets have moved the ball better with quarterback Tyrod Taylor at the helm, and Miami's defense has softened in recent weeks. If New York can continue trending positively, Folk may see a modest uptick in scoring down the stretch. He'll land as RotoBaller's K19 in this week's ranks.

New Orleans Saints kicker Charlie Smyth has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The Saints are searching for a new kicker after waiving Blake Grupe. Smyth was competing with Cade York throughout the week. It looks like the 24-year-old has won the competition and will start this weekend. The Irish native will make his NFL debut here, so fantasy managers don't have any previous NFL kicking stats to go by. That being said, Smith will be a risky streaming option for Week 13.
