Kicker Will Reichard is a fantasy risk in Week 5 while attached to a Minnesota Vikings offense hounded by injuries and facing the Cleveland Browns, who have one of the better defensive fronts in football. The Alabama product has been outstanding this season, going 8-for-8 in both field goals and extra points, but the Vikings are down to their third-string center, missing starting left guard Donovan Jackson (wrist), starting right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee), running back Aaron Jones (hamstring), and quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle). This week, they'll face a Cleveland run defense that allows fewer yards per rush than anyone in the league, which could severely limit Reichard's chances. Managers should look for another option.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has struggled through his first two NFL games, going 4-for-5 on field goals and just 2-for-4 on extra points so far. The rookie has failed to establish himself as a reliable fantasy option. Instead, he's near the bottom of fantasy rankings and could be a couple more poor games away from fighting for his job. The Patriots' opponent this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers, have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this year, ranking near the league median. However, even if they had allowed the most fantasy points to kickers, Borregales wouldn't be worth trusting. He needs to establish more kicking consistency before he climbs back onto the fantasy radar. He can be dropped in all leagues.
