Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk faces the New York Jets in a Week 2 matchup this Sunday. The veteran nailed his only field goal attempt against Chicago last week, booting in a 40-yarder early in the second quarter. Unfortunately the Titans offense could not move the ball for the entirety of the second half which didn't lead to many opportunities for Folk to put points on the board. The story may be the same this coming week with the Jets and their stout defensive unit coming to town. There are likely better kicking options currently on waivers for this week.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk will start the season in Chicago taking on the Bears in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. Folk was the #19 kicker last year but the ranking wasn't emblematic of his effectiveness. It was a career-year for the 39-year old veteran, who finished first in the NFL with a 96.7% conversion rate. The Titans have a completely revamped offense which should score more than 17.9 points per game (26th overall), meaning Folk will have many more opportunities to score fantasy points. However, Chicago has one of the best defenses in the league and is playing on their home turf in Week 1. With the Titans offense still unproven, Folk is probably better left on waivers for opening weekend.
The Tennessee Titans re-signed veteran kicker Nick Folk to a one-year, $3.755 million deal on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal can be worth a maximum of $4.13 million through incentives. Although Folk wasn't as productive in fantasy -- he finished as the No. 21 kicker in overall fantasy points -- as he was in 2022 with the New England Patriots, he's been one of the most accurate kickers in the league in recent seasons. The 39-year-old missed just one of his 30 field-goal attempts for a league-best 96.7 percent conversion rate. Folk also missed just two of his 30 extra-point tries in his first year in Tennessee in 2023. The Titans lost All-Pro running back Derrick Henry in free agency, but they added Tony Pollard and receiver Calvin Ridley, so there's certainly potential for Folk to get more chances for field goals and extra points in 2024.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk missed his first kick of the season last week, but the 39-year-old is still 21-for-22 on field goals and 13-for-13 on extra points this year. Although Tennessee's offense has been putrid in recent weeks, that can sometimes work in the favor of fantasy kickers. If rookie quarterback Will Levis can at least bounce back and move the ball a little better on Sunday against the Jaguars, Folk should be in for more field-goal and extra-point attempts. In 14-plus-team leagues, he's worth consideration.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk remains perfect on the season after eight games. The 39-year-old has made all 19 of his field goal attempts and all 13 extra point tries. At this point in the season, he ranks sixth in fantasy points per game (10.0). That said, he remains on the fantasy radar and is a viable fantasy starter in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has yet to miss an extra point or field goal attempt this season on 28 total tries. He ranks eighth among kickers in fantasy points per game this season and is set to play on Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rookie quarterback Will Levis might continue to give the Titans' offense more juice, which could lead to more scoring opportunities for Folk. This Thursday Night AFC Showdown in Pittsburgh could prove to be a battle of field possession and field goals, so the 38-year-old could finish as a top-ten kicker option in Week 9.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has made all 13 of his field goal attempts this season, including three kicks from 50-plus yards. He's also made all seven of his extra-point tries. Tennessee has scored the seventh-fewest points per game (17.6) and its Week 6 opponent, the Baltimore Ravens, has allowed the third-fewest points (15.0) per game. In all likelihood, the Titans' offense will stall out before it reaches the red zone, meaning Folk could have more chances to score fantasy points. The veteran ranks fifth in fantasy points among kickers this season, so he offers upside for fantasy managers looking for a streaming option.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has made all 10 of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point attempts through four games this season. The veteran looks confident from any distance, making him an intriguing Week 5 streaming option. The 38-year-old ranks sixth in total fantasy points (43) at the position after finishing last year's campaign with the New England Patriots as the No. 6 scorer among kickers. Fantasy managers playing the weekly kicker streaming game should give him a look against the Indianapolis Colts, who play indoors.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has made all eight of his field goal attempts this season and was beginning to enter the fantasy radar. However, Tennessee's offense scored just three total points in Week 3, proving Folk's floor is low as a part of a low-scoring team. He has plenty of upside if Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, and company can turn things around, but until then, there are likely better streaming options available. When teams start to go on bye weeks, he might become a more interesting fantasy asset. Stay away from him in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk made five field goals in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints then made two field goals, including a game-winner in overtime, in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He has made all of his field goal and extra point tries through two weeks, placing him on the fantasy football radar. However, the Titans' offense will likely struggle to move the ball against the fierce Cleveland Browns defense in Week 3, making Folk a risky play at the kicker spot. He is the No. 6 kicker in total fantasy points so far, but he carries a boom-or-bust outlook into Week 3 given the matchup.
