Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Chris Boswell

Thursday, September 21, 12:32 PM

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk made five field goals in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints then made two field goals, including a game-winner in overtime, in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He has made all of his field goal and extra point tries through two weeks, placing him on the fantasy football radar. However, the Titans' offense will likely struggle to move the ball against the fierce Cleveland Browns defense in Week 3, making Folk a risky play at the kicker spot. He is the No. 6 kicker in total fantasy points so far, but he carries a boom-or-bust outlook into Week 3 given the matchup.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell had a solid performance in Week 2 and will look to stay perfect on the season in a Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite his consistency as an NFL kicker, there is little upside to starting Boswell in fantasy lineups. The Steelers are averaging just 16.5 points per game and were forced to rely on big defensive plays to win last week. Boswell could conceivably have a busy day against the Raiders, who are allowing the eighth-most points in the league, but fantasy managers should wait to see improvements from Pittsburgh's offense before considering him a streaming option.
