Chris Boswell Fantasy

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed kicker Chris Boswell (groin) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, meaning he will miss at least the next four games. In Pittsburgh's struggling offense this year, Boswell hasn't been on the fantasy radar. The 31-year-old has made 12 of his 16 field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries in seven games played. The Steelers signed Matthew Wright off the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad this week, and he will kick in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints. The 26-year-old made three of his four field goals and all eight of his extra points in two games earlier this year for the Chiefs when Harrison Butker was injured. Wright should be ignored in fantasy.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed kicker Matthew Wright to the active 53-man roster from the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad on Wednesday, meaning Wright has to be on the roster for three games. It's bad news for Chris Boswell (groin), who is dealing with an injury. Boswell checks in as the No. 25 fantasy kicker this year, so Wright won't be on the fantasy map in what should be his debut with the team against the New Orleans Saints. Wright served as the Chiefs kicker in Weeks 4 and 5 and made three of his four field-goal tries while making all eight of his extra points. In his three NFL seasons, the 26-year-old from Central Florida has made 87.5 percent of his 32 field-goal attempts in 19 games played.

The Pittsburgh Steelers ruled out kicker Chris Boswell (groin) for the Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to his groin injury. Boswell was listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he's now been downgraded and won't kick on Sunday. The 31-year-old apparently injured his groin at practice later in the week, but it remains to be seen if this is a multi-week injury. It looks like the Steelers will have to scramble for a replacement at the position this week against the undefeated Eagles, who have been a bad matchup for kickers in fantasy. Whoever the Steelers go with at kicker should be avoided in fantasy. Pittsburgh has a bye in Week 9, so perhaps Boswell will be ready to go for a Week 10 meeting against the New Orleans Saints.
