Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Chris Boswell

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his extra-point tries and went three-for-four on field goal attempts in a Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns. His lone miss came on a 54-yard try, as the 11th-year veteran slipped on less-than-ideal field conditions. Boswell should remain steady as usual against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. The Bengals are one of just three teams in the NFL allowing over 30 points per game through six weeks, so if Pittsburgh's offense continues to move the ball effectively, Boswell should have plenty of opportunities to contribute. He checks in as a top-10 option in RotoBaller's Week 7 fantasy rankings.
