Week 16 Kicker Outlooks for Fantasy Football
Chris Boswell, Pittsburgh Steelers - Fantasy Football Outlook
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was somewhat quiet last week but remains one of the most reliable fantasy options at his position ahead of a Week 16 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens. Back in Week 11, Boswell single-handedly defeated Baltimore on the scoreboard, nailing all six of his field goal attempts in the 18-16 victory.
Saturday's contest will take place in Pittsburgh, where Boswell averages three field goals made per game. With George Pickens (hamstring) sidelined for a third straight week, the Steelers could struggle offensively and may be forced to again lean on their defense and the steady leg of Boswell. Fantasy managers should feel confident deploying Boswell in this divisional bout.

Chase McLaughlin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Fantasy Football Outlook
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin gave a great performance to fantasy managers during last week's game. McLaughlin connected on all eight kicks in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 28-year-old made four field goals and four extra-point attempts in a busy day for him.
The expectation is that McLaughlin will be busy once again versus the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. The Cowboys have a banged-up defense that should give the Bucs plenty of scoring chances this weekend. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable starting McLaughlin in Week 16.

Ka'imi Fairbairn, Houston Texans - Fantasy Football Outlook
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is yet again a top kicking option, and his team is set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. The UCLA product is coming off back-to-back perfect weeks, has not missed an extra point this season, and is the overall No. 2 at his position for fantasy points.
Kansas City ranks a sturdy fourth against fantasy kickers, but 13 of Fairbairn's 33 made field goals have come from beyond 50 yards this season, making him fantasy-relevant week in and week out. He's a worthy starting option for managers in the playoffs.
