Andy Borregales or Joey Slye: Who Should You Start?
2026 Week 1 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
Two low-end streamers cancel out: neither belongs in lineups this week
Borregales' edge is that Foxborough's offense stalls in the red zone more often, which nudges field-goal work his way even on a lower implied total. But that's about the only thing tilting toward him — Slye's Titans are favored, project for a few more points and attempts, and Slye has actually connected from 50-plus far more often this season. Both sit outside the top-19 kickers by consensus and neither cracks 8 projected points, so this is a bench-both week if you have any alternative. The real question isn't which of these two to start, it's whether you have a better option on your roster.
What flips it: A waiver-wire kicker with a real matchup edge should jump both of these.
