Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Eddy Piñeiro

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.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Pineiro wasn't able to practice at all last week before eventually getting ruled out for the Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. It's not looking good as Pineiro is sidelined to begin this week as well. He's currently considered week-to-week due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain. In his absence, Matt Gay was perfect on all four of his kick attempts. Gay figures to get another start if Pineiro is sidelined versus the Cleveland Browns in Week 13.
