Nick Folk Moves into Streaming Range for Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 8:20 AM

Atlanta Falcons kicker Nick Folk, after starting the year 3-for-6 on field goal tries, is now 3-for-3 over the last two games and is a perfect 10-for-10 on extra points so far this season. Week 5 brings a favorable matchup against the Ravens, who will be without QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) and LB Trey Hendrickson (finger), making the Falcons three-point home favorites in Atlanta on Sunday night. Being in the dome in Atlanta means that the veteran kicker will not have to deal with the elements, and with the team owning an implied point total of 23.5, there should be a decent amount of scoring. It all sets the 41-year-old up as a potential streaming option in Week 5, ranking as the No. 20 kicker overall at RotoBaller.

Eddy Pineiro A Solid Choice In Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 3:05 AM

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro was 3-for-3 on his extra points, converted one field goal attempt, and had another one blocked in last Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. Pineiro's make from the field was on a 24-yarder in the second quarter. The block came on a 54-yard try at the end of the first half. He is 14-for-16 on extra points, leading the league in both conversions and attempts, and 4-for-6 on field goal attempts. San Francisco's ability to convert drives into touchdowns has robbed Pineiro of more opportunities to try the field goals that would be more lucrative for fantasy purposes. However, it bodes well for his prospects that his offense can consistently drive into their opponent's territory. In Week 5, Pineiro is worth starting in what should be a hard-fought divisional matchup between the 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.
