Who Should I Start? Spencer Shrader or Andy Borregales

Monday, October 6, 11:21 PM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that kicker Spencer Shrader (knee) tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and will miss the rest of the season, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Shrader was injured when a defender crashed into his knee following a kick on Sunday. It's a tough break for the 26-year-old and the 4-1 Colts, as Shrader had missed just one of his 14 field-goal tries while making all 14 of his extra-point attempts in five games before his season-ending injury. With no current kicker other than Shrader on the active roster or practice squad, the Colts will be working out free-agent kickers this week as they head into a Week 6 meeting with the visiting Arizona Cardinals. Fantasy managers who had been using Shrader at the position will have to hit the waiver wire for a replacement.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales saw his eight-week streak of perfection come to an end last weekend, but he remains a high-scoring option for Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals. After a quieter start to the year, Borregales has emerged as a reliable weekly fantasy option. He's now 31-for-33 on extra points and 15-for-17 on field goals, including two from 50+ yards out. The 23-year-old rookie should continue to be started in most fantasy leagues, as he ranks #6 among kickers in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings. He stands to benefit from a decent matchup against the Bengals, who have allowed the 14th-most fantasy points to kickers in 2025 and surrendered 10 kicking points to Chris Boswell just last week.
