Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Matt Prater

Saturday, October 11, 4:05 PM

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk will get the opportunity to keep his perfect streak alive in Week 6 when his team lines up with the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The veteran has been uber-reliable over the previous few seasons, and he's carried that into 2025, beginning his second tenure with the Jets a perfect 9-for-9 on field goals and 7-for-7 on extra-point tries. Despite Folk's lethality in the kicking game, the inconsistencies of New York's offense have held him back from being more fantasy-relevant, and they could have trouble getting on the board again this weekend against a stout Denver defense. The Broncos have allowed the second-fewest points per game in the league thus far (16.8), and are particularly staunch toward opposing rushing attacks - the Jets' preferred mode of ball matriculation. Folk is hard to trust in a tough matchup, landing as RotoBaller's K29 for Sunday's meeting with the Broncos.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater remains a solid streaming option in Week 6, rostered in just 41% of fantasy leagues. Prater has been steady all season, converting 10-of-11 field-goal attempts while benefiting from the Bills' ability to consistently move the ball. Facing the league's top-ranked Falcons defense, Buffalo may find it difficult to finish drives in the end zone, setting up more field-goal opportunities for the veteran kicker. With a strong leg and a reliable track record, Prater offers high-upside potential in what could be a competitive, lower-scoring matchup on Monday night.
