Andy Borregales or Daniel Carlson: Who Should You Start?

Kicker Coin Flip: Borregales’ Red-Zone Edge vs Carlson’s Dome Certainty

Both kickers sit at the same consensus tier, and the numbers behind them cancel each other out almost perfectly. Borregales' offense stalls red-zone drives a touch more often, which should hand him a few extra kicks, but his projected attempts actually trail Carlson's, and Foxborough's open roof still has no firm forecast attached. Carlson gets to work in a dome with zero weather variance and plays behind an offense favored by a much larger spread, the kind of game script that tends to keep drives alive into scoring range rather than forcing early field-goal tries. Neither has an injury concern, so this comes down to which team's scoring path you trust more this week, not who the better kicker is.

What flips it: A weather downgrade at Gillette that shrinks New England's scoring range would tip this toward Carlson.
