Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Ryan Fitzgerald

Saturday, October 4, 2:08 PM

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk will look to continue his flawless kicking in Week 5 when his team squares off against the Dallas Cowboys at home. Folk is a perfect 14-for-14 this season (seven field goals), as he's now missed just three total kicks since the start of 2023. The veteran has been as reliable as anyone in 2025, but New York's low scoring volume has hindered him from becoming an elite fantasy option. With the Cowboys' offense pushing the pace of play and putting up the fifth-most points per game in the league (28.5), a productive week is in Folk's range of outcomes. However, the Jets' bottom-half offense and potential to bottom out make the 40-year-old a risky option for fantasy. He's RotoBaller's K22 ahead of Week 5.

Carolina Panthers kicker Ryan Fitzgerald has won the kicking job after the team released Matthew Wright, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The undrafted rookie out of Florida State went 3-for-3 on field goals and also converted his lone extra point attempt through three preseason games. He enjoyed similar success at school, going 13-for-13 on field goals during his final collegiate campaign in 2024. Although the Panthers' offense is trending up, Fitzgerald lacks fantasy appeal at the moment, especially as a rookie with no track record kicking at the professional level.
