Who Should I Start? Spencer Shrader or Andy Borregales

According to James Boyd of The Athletic, Spencer Shrader is the favorite to win the team's starting placekicking duties for 2025. Last season, Shrader kicked for the Colts in Week 1 due to an injury to Matt Gay. The Colts released Gay this offseason and brought Shrader back. He will compete with undrafted free-agent kicker Maddux Trujillo out of Temple, but it is "his job to lose." Shrader went undrafted last offseason out of Notre Dame and kicked in one game for the Colts, one game for the New York Jets, and two games for the Kansas City Chiefs. Overall, he made all five of his field goal attempts and was a perfect nine-for-nine on extra point tries. Gay attempted the seventh-most field goals last season for Indy, so Shrader could find his way on the fantasy football radar in 2025.

The New England Patriots have named rookie Andy Borregales their starting kicker for 2025 after releasing Parker Romo on Tuesday. A sixth-round draft pick, Borregales arrives from Miami (FL), where he built a strong collegiate r sum by converting 74 of 86 field goals, including an impressive 18-for-19 mark in 2024. While he showed some inconsistency during the preseason, the Patriots are committing to him as their long-term option at the position. New England will be counting on Borregales' leg to stabilize special teams and provide reliability in tight games throughout the season.
