Chris Boswell Could Surprise In Week 18
1 year agoPittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was perfect in Week 17, drilling all three of his field goal attempts and going three-for-three on extra-point tries. He'll hope to have similar involvement in a Week 18 divisional showdown with the Baltimore Ravens. Boswell has been unreliable for fantasy purposes with the Steelers struggling to score points for most of the season, but Pittsburgh's offense has been clicking recently with Mason Rudolph under center. The Steelers, who are battling for their playoff lives, could continue to find success on Saturday as the Ravens are expected to rest many starters. Production is far from guaranteed, but fantasy managers could get solid output from Boswell this week.

Chris Boswell Off The Injury Report
3 months agoAccording to Ryan Mink of the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (illness) is off the injury report for Saturday's playoff game. The veteran kicker popped up on the injury report on Wednesday and remained a non-participant on Thursday. However, the team has already cleared him and he does not carry a designation into the weekend. The 33-year-old did not miss a game all season and held a strong 93.2% conversion rate on field goal attempts and a perfect rate on extra points. He missed only one attempt on field goals from within 49 yards out. Fantasy managers should view Boswell as a solid option for DFS formats, as he has averaged 11.2 PPR points per game this season.

Chris Boswell Tagged With DNP
3 months agoPittsburgh Steelers placekicker Chris Boswell (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. The 33-year-old could log a full session on Tuesday but evidently caught something overnight and was unavailable a day later. It's been an incredible season for the veteran -- drilling all 35 extra-point tries while failing to connect on only three field goals. He led the league with 158 points. While Boswell will get another shot at practice time on Thursday ahead of their Wild Card clash with the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, it's mildly concerning for the Steelers. Defensive lineman Cameron Heyward (illness) is also under the weather and has been a DNP the whole week thus far, so hopefully, it doesn't spread further. Heyward reportedly has the flu, while Boswell's illness has not yet been reported.

Chris Boswell Hits 54-Yarder In Week 18 Loss
3 months agoPittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell nailed his only field goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in a 19-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Boswell's field goal, a 54-yarder, came in crunch time with Pittsburgh down by five points with fewer than three minutes remaining in the contest. Unfortunately, the Steelers were unable to move the ball into field goal range on their final possession to give Boswell an opportunity for a game-winner. The 33-year-old will conclude the most prolific campaign of his career with 41 made field goals and without missing a single extra-point attempt. Boswell can be started as a high-end option in playoff fantasy leagues and DFS contests when the wild-card round begins next weekend.

Chris Boswell A Quality Starting Option In Week 18
3 months agoPittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was not asked to do much in Week 17 and will hope to be more involved in a Week 18 bout with the Cincinnati Bengals. Just a few weeks ago, Boswell drilled five extra points and three field goals in a win against Cincinnati in which the Steelers put up 44 points. The Bengals have surrendered over 26 points per contest this season, so it's no surprise this divisional contest has a healthy projected point total of 48.5. Boswell offers plenty of upside on Saturday and should remain in fantasy lineups that still have something to play for.
