Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Daniel Carlson

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.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson was 2-for-2 on his kicks on Sunday with one extra point and one 47-yard field goal. The Raiders struggled to move the ball after their opening drive in a 38-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. They only mustered 240 total offensive yards, including only two first downs on the ground. Carlson is one of the league's premier kickers, but without much opportunity, he remains a low-end kicking option.
