Makes two field goals in loss
Boswell converted two of three field-goal attempts while making his lone extra-point try during Thursday's 24-19 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Boswell missed a 58-yard field-goal attempt wide right to close out the Steelers' first drive of the game Thursday, marking just the second time he's missed a kick this season. However, he was perfect on his next three kicks, including a field-goal attempt and an extra-point try that came in snowy conditions. Despite Thursday's miss, the 33-year-old has still been one of the most accurate kickers in the league to begin the year, converting 31 of 33 field-goal attempts while making all 21 of his…read more

Drills six field goals in win
Boswell converted all six of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: The Steelers were unable to reach the end zone during Sunday's divisional matchup, but Boswell was perfect when called upon, accounting for all of the team's scoring. He made three of his field-goal attempts from at least 50 yards and is now 9-for-10 on attempts from 50-plus yards, eclipsing his previous career-high mark of eight makes from that distance. The 33-year-old has attempted a league-leading 30 field goals to begin the year, and he's made 29 of those tries (96.7 percent efficiency).

Perfect on extra-point tries
Boswell didn't have any field-goal attempts but converted all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Boswell didn't record a field-goal attempt for the first time this season, but he matched his season-high mark of four extra-point tries as the Steelers' offense found success following the Week 9 bye. The 33-year-old has still been one of the most efficient kickers in the league over the first half of the season, converting 23 of 24 field-goal attempts while making all 20 of his extra-point tries.

Busy in victory
Boswell converted all four of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during Monday's 26-18 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Boswell didn't have any particularly long attempts during Monday's primetime matchup, as his longest field-goal attempt came from 31 yards. However, he remained perfect once again and has converted all 11 of his field-goal attempts while making all eight of his extra-point tries over the three games heading into Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye. The 33-year-old is tied with Austin Seibert for the most made field goals to begin the season, and Boswell's 95.8 percent field-goal conversion rate leads the…read more

Sees plenty of work on SNF
Boswell converted all three of his field-goal attempts while making all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-15 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Boswell got the Steelers on the board with a pair of first-half field goals Sunday, and he remained perfect down the stretch as the team put up 31 unanswered points. The 33-year-old has been busy early in the season and has been a reliable option, making 19 of 20 field-goal attempts, including six of seven from 50-plus yards, and converting all 14 of his extra-point tries.

Fantastic in road win
Boswell made all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his two extra-point tries during Sunday's 32-13 win at Las Vegas.
Analysis: The veteran has been nearly perfect to start the year, and as of the end of the day Sunday, his 16 made field goals on the season are good for second in the league behind only Brandon Aubrey (17). As long as Pittsburgh's offense can move the ball into scoring range, Boswell is about as good a bet as any kicker to make good on his chances.

Perfect in prime time
Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt while converting both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Boswell was held to just one field-goal attempt for a second consecutive week Sunday, but he was still perfect on three kicks in the narrow defeat.

Boswell converted his lone field-goal attempt while making all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Boswell put the Steelers on the board Sunday with a 50-yard field goal to close out the first half, and he's now gone 5-for-6 on attempts from 50-plus yards over the first four weeks of the regular season. The 33-year-old was also perfect on extra-point tries once again. He's been a reliable option early in 2024, making 11 of 12 field-goal attempts while converting all six of his extra-point tries.

Productive once again
Boswell converted two of his three field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Boswell was perfect on eight field-goal attempts over the first two weeks of the regular season, including four conversions from 50-plus yards. However, he missed a 62-yard attempt just before halftime during Sunday's Week 3 matchup. Despite Sunday's missed kick, the 33-year-old has still been reliable early in the season and should continue to be utilized regularly as the season progresses.

Makes two field goals in win
Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: After making six field-goal attempts in last week's regular-season opener to account for all of the Steelers' points, Boswell wasn't needed as much in Week 2. However, he still delivered when called upon, including a 53-yard field goal in the third quarter. The 33-year-old has drilled all four of his attempts from 50-plus yards over the first two weeks of the regular season, and he's been crucial for the team's success, as the offense has struggled to reach the end zone.

Stays busy in win
Boswell made all six of his field-goal attempts in an 18-10 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Boswell was responsible for all of the Steelers' scoring Sunday, tying a franchise record with six field goals made in a game. Perhaps most impressive was the distance from which he connected, making FGAs from, 57, 56 and 51 yards out while also hitting from 44, 40 and 25. Next up for Boswell and the Steelers will be a Week 2 matchup in Denver.

Bounces back in 2023
Boswell completed 29 of 31 field-goal attempts while making 27 of 28 extra-point tries during the 2023 campaign.
Analysis: Boswell had one of the worst seasons of his career in 2022 by converting just 71.4 percent of his field-goal tries over 12 games. However, he won a kicking competition during training camp this year to retain his job, and he rewarded the Steelers with a bounce-back performance. The 32-year-old converted six of his seven attempts from at least 50 yards, and he's now made 21 attempts from at least 50 yards over the past three seasons.

Perfect against Cincinnati
Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making all four of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 34-11 win over the Bengals on Saturday.
Analysis: Boswell missed one of two extra-point tries during last week's loss to Indianapolis, but he bounced back against the Steelers' AFC North rival Saturday. The 32-year-old has been relatively accurate in 2023, making 25 of 27 field-goal attempts while converting 22 of 23 extra-point tries.

Struggles in limited action
Boswell made one of two extra-point tries during the Steelers' 30-13 loss to the Colts on Saturday.
Analysis: Boswell had made all 17 of his extra-point tries heading into Saturday's matchup, but he had a kick hit the right upright following Pittsburgh's first touchdown of the game.

Makes 56-yarder in loss
Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt while converting his lone extra-point try during the Steelers' 21-18 loss to New England on Thursday.
Analysis: Although Boswell was perfect during Thursday's primetime matchup, he didn't see much action. He made his second-longest field-goal attempt with a 56-yarder midway through the first quarter and made an extra-point try late in the second quarter, but the Steelers went for two after their lone touchdown in the second half. Still after missing a field-goal attempt during last week's loss to Arizona, it was encouraging to see the 32-year-old get back on track, even with a limited sample.

Suffers rare miss Sunday
Boswell converted just one of his two field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 24-10 loss versus the Cardinals.
Analysis: Boswell's miss from 45 yards out late in the third quarter was just his second miss this season and his first since Week 8 versus Jacksonville, when he missed from 61 yards away. Otherwise, he's been incredibly accurate, held back only by a Pittsburgh offense that's averaging just 16.0 points per game. The Steelers will square off against a solid defense in Week 14 versus the Patriots, so Boswell won't be a great fantasy option despite his effectiveness.

Makes three field-goal attempts

Analysis: Boswell was limited to just one field-goal attempt during last week's loss to Cleveland, but he saw plenty of work during Sunday's victory as the Steelers' offense managed to move the ball better.

Limited work against Cleveland
Boswell converted his lone field-goal attempt while making his lone extra-point try during the Steelers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: Although Boswell was perfect once again during Sunday's matchup, he didn't have many opportunities to contribute during the low-scoring matchup. The 32-year-old's accuracy hasn't been a concern over the first half of the 2023 campaign, with his main limitation coming from his relative lack of opportunities.

Boswell converted all three of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 23-19 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Boswell had two attempts from over 40 yards during Sunday's matchup, but he was perfect once again to help lead the Steelers to the narrow win. The 32-year-old has been perfect in eight of his nine appearances this season, with his lone missed field-goal attempt coming on a 61-yard attempt against Jacksonville in Week 8, though it's worth noting that he made the initial 56-yard try in that situation before it was negated due to a penalty.

Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 20-16 win over the Titans on Thursday.
Analysis: Boswell had his first missed field-goal attempt of the season last week on a 61-yard attempt, but he took care of business with some manageable kicks in primetime.

Misses 61-yard attempt in loss
Boswell made one of two field-goal attempts while converting his lone extra-point try during the Steelers' 20-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Boswell was perfect on the season heading into Sunday's Week 8 matchup. While he initially made a 55-yard field-goal attempt to close out the first half, it was nullified by an offensive penalty, and he missed the ensuing 61-yard try. Despite the miss, Boswell has still had an impressive season when the offense has put him in a position to attempt field goals. He's now converted 12 of 13 field-goal attempts while making all nine of his extra-point tries in 2023.

He also made his fourth field-goal attempt of at least 50 yards during Sunday's Week 7 win. The 32-year-old's overall fantasy value has depended on the success of the Steelers' offense, but he's been reliable when called upon early in the year.

Makes lone kick in blowout loss
Boswell made his lone extra-point try during the Steelers' 30-7 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: The Steelers' offense was unable to generate much production during Sunday's regular-season opener, and Boswell didn't have any field-goal attempts in the blowout loss. However, he still made his lone kick after winning the starting placekicking job during the offseason. After an inefficient 2022 in which he made just 71.4 percent of his field-goal attempts, he'll attempt to bounce back in 2023.

Boswell converted his lone field-goal attempt while making all three of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 24-0 preseason win over Atlanta.
Analysis: Boswell didn't appear in the Steelers' preseason opener but has been effective since then, making all nine of his kicks over the last two games. B.T. Potter missed his lone kick -- a 43-yard field-goal attempt -- in the fourth quarter Thursday, so Boswell appears to be the favorite to open the regular season as the Steelers' placekicker.

Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making all three extra-point tries during Saturday's 27-17 preseason win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Boswell didn't play during last weekend's preseason opener since rookie B.T. Potter handled placekicking duties, but the veteran served as the team's kicker against Buffalo and was perfect on five kicks. Boswell converted just 71.4 percent of his field-goal attempts last year, and it appears to be a tight battle for a roster spot between the 32-year-old and Potter ahead of the regular season.

Potter converted both of his field-goal attempts while making all three of his extra-point tries in the win, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Boswell get a chance to kick as the preseason progresses.

Returns from IR
The Steelers reinstated Boswell (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Steelers waived Matthew Wright in a corresponding move, setting the stage for Boswell to step back in as the team's kicker Sunday against the Ravens. Given that he received a lucrative contract extension in August that leaves him Baltimore's Justin Tucker as the NFL's highest-paid kickers, Boswell was always expected to get his job back once he healed up from the right groin injury that has sideline him since Week 8.

Lands on IR
Pittsburgh placed Boswell (groin) on injured reserve Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: The Steelers' decision to sign another kicker (Matthew Wright) off the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday already seemed to signal that Boswell wasn't on track to play Sunday against the Saints, but Boswell's move to IR means that he'll be sidelined for at least four games on account of the groin injury. Boswell, who sat out the Steelers' Week 8 loss to the Eagles before Pittsburgh went on bye Week 9, won't be eligible to return until the team's Dec. 11 matchup with the Ravens in Week 14.

Analysis: The Steelers' decision to sign another kicker (Matthew Wright) off the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday already seemed to signal that Boswell wasn't on track to play Sunday against the Saints, but Boswell's move to IR means that he'll be sidelined for at least four games on account of the groin injury. Boswell, who sat out the Steelers' Week 8 loss to the Eagles before Pittsburgh went on bye Week 9, won't be eligible to return until the team's Dec. 11 matchup with the Ravens in Week 14.

Sits out practice again
Boswell (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Boswell picked up a groin injury ahead of Pittsburgh's Week 8 loss to the Eagles and has now missed his second straight practice to open Week 10. The 31-year-old's inability to participate coming off the Steelers' Week 9 bye week is a very discouraging sign for his availability, and he'll have just one more practice to increase his activity before Sunday's contest against New Orleans. Boswell converted 12 of his 16 field-goal attempts and all nine point-after tries over the first seven games of…read more

Fails to practice Wednesday
Boswell (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Boswell was sidelined for Week 8 due to a groin issue and still isn't ready to practice following the team's Week 9 bye. The veteran kicker will have two more opportunities to participate before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Saints, but the Steelers already seem to be preparing for him to miss the contest. Pittsburgh signed Matthew Wright to the 53-man roster Wednesday, which suggests the team doesn't believe Boswell will play Week 10.

Downgraded to out
Boswell (groin) will not play Sunday against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Steelers don't have a kicker on the practice squad, so it'll be interesting to see who eventually gets signed and elevated to the active roster. Boswell is currently tied for the sixth-most field-goal attempts this season, but he's also tied for the third worst field-goal percentage (75) among kickers with at least 10 attempts.

Groin injury surfaces
Boswell (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: This injury must have popped up late in the week, as Boswell was unable to practice Friday after being off the injury report Wednesday and Thursday. Already massive underdogs on the road against the undefeated Eagles, the Steelers could find themselves scrambling for a last-minute replacement kicker if Boswell's unable to suit up.

Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-18 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: After missing two kicks during last week's loss in windy Buffalo, Boswell was perfect against the Buccaneers to help lead the Steelers to the narrow victory. The 31-year-old has had plenty of work from 50-plus yards to begin the season but has made just 73.3 percent of his total field-goal attempts over the first six weeks of the campaign.

Misses two kicks in windy Buffalo
Boswell converted one of his three field-goal attempts during the Steelers' 38-3 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: The Steelers struggled to generate much offensive production Sunday, and Boswell missed 33- and 45-yard field-goal attempts since the wind was swirling in Buffalo. The 31-year-old had made eight of his 10 field-goal attempts over the first four weeks of the season, so he should be more effective when the Steelers play in more favorable weather conditions.

Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Boswell missed a 49-yard attempt during last week's loss to the Browns, but he was perfect on two field-goal attempts from over 50 yards against the Jets.

Boswell made one of two field-goal attempts while converting both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 29-17 loss to Cleveland on Thursday.
Analysis: Boswell was perfect on two field-goal attempts last week, but he missed a 49-yard attempt wide right during the first quarter of Thursday's primetime matchup. Although the 31-year-old has made just six of eight field-goal attempts over the first three weeks of the season, he's had plenty of long-range work since the Steelers' offense hasn't been particularly efficient.

Drills game-winner in OT
Boswell made three of four field-goal attempts while converting both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Special teams became an issue for both squads late in Sunday's season opener, as Evan McPherson had an extra-point try blocked with zero seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime before missing a 29-yarder in overtime.

Analysis: Boswell had a 29-yard field-goal attempt blocked early in the third quarter Sunday, but he was otherwise perfect while accounting for most of Pittsburgh's scoring during the final game of the preseason. The 31-year-old had missed his only other preseason field-goal attempt ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he enters the regular season as the clear starting kicker for the Steelers after agreeing to a four-year, $20 million extension with Pittsburgh in early August.

Gets top-of-market payday
Boswell agreed to a four-year, $20 million contract extension with the Steelers on Monday, thus tying him with Baltimore's Justin Tucker as the highest-paid kicker in NFL history, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Boswell was entering the final year of his current contract with Pittsburgh, so this new extension should tie him to the team for the next five seasons. The one-time Pro Bowler has been incredibly solid during his seven-year career with the Steelers, converting at least 84 percent of his field-goal attempts every season except for the 2018 campaign.

Suiting up Monday
Boswell (concussion) is active for Monday's game against the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Boswell took a huge hit along the sideline after attempting a pass on a fake field goal last Sunday at Cleveland and was incredibly woozy while making his way to the locker room. He unsurprisingly entered the concussion protocol, but he was able to return to full practice Friday and emerged from Week 9 prep without a designation.

Pittsburgh failed to generate much offensive production against Buffalo, so Boswell's workload in the loss was minimal.

By that metric, Bowswell's absence Wednesday isn't a promising start. Matthew Wright filled in for Boswell in Monday's loss to Washington, and while Wright didn't miss, Pittsburgh's decision to pass on a field-goal attempt from Washington's 28-yard line with the game tied and under five minutes remaining likely would have played out differently had…read more

Unavailable against Washington
Boswell (hip) is inactive for Monday's game against Washington.
Analysis: This news was expected after Boswell was downgraded to doubtful Sunday. He's been outstanding this season, connecting on 18 of 19 field-goal attempts (95 percent). Matthew Wright will kick for the Steelers on Monday.

Unlikely for Week 13
The Steelers downgraded Boswell (hip) from questionable to doubtful for Monday's game versus Washington.
Analysis: Boswell wasn't added to the Steelers' injury report until Saturday, an indication the hip issue may have surfaced during the team's final practice of the week. In any case, Boswell is trending in the wrong direction as Monday's game approaches, and he looks poised to miss his first contest since the 2018 season. The Steelers are expected to promote Matthew Wright from the practice squad to serve as their Week 13 kicker.

Questionable for Monday
Boswell (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against Washington.
Analysis: Boswell popped up on the injury report and was unable to practice Saturday after suffering a hip injury Friday. If Boswell is unable to play, expect Matthew Wright to be called up from the practice squad, though the Steelers have given no such indication the move could take place. Wright has not played in a game since he entered the league as an undrafted rookie in 2019.

Makes two field goals Wednesday
Boswell converted on both of his field-goal attempts while missing his only extra-point try in Wednesday's 19-14 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Boswell's day got off to a slow start as he missed an extra-point try in the first quarter of Wednesday's game, but he converted on a pair of short field goals later in the contest. The 29-year-old has now converted on 94.7 percent of his field-goal attempts, but he's only made 88.6 percent of his extra-point tries this year. He'll face a slightly more favorable matchup against Washington next week.

Productive against Jaguars
Boswell converted on two of his three field-goal attempts while making all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Boswell was perfect on his field-goal attempts this year heading into Sunday's contest, but he missed a 45-yard attempt wide left during the first quarter. However, he bounced back and converted on the rest of his five kicks against Jacksonville, including attempts from 44 and 47 yards. The Steelers face the Ravens on Thursday, and Baltimore has been the stingiest defense against opposing kickers this season.

Drills three field goals in Week 10
Boswell converted on all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Boswell had some struggles in the Steelers' Week 9 win as he missed two extra-point tries, but he was perfect on six kicks against Cincinnati on Sunday. He's converted on all 14 of his field-goal attempts to begin the season, as the Steelers have had a potent offensive attack over the first nine games of 2020.

Converts on two field goals
Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts while missing both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Boswell's day started on a low note as he missed his first extra-point try of the game with just over a minute remaining in the second quarter, but he converted on a 59-yard field-goal attempt to finish the first half. The 29-year-old had an extra-point try blocked early in the fourth quarter before converting on his final field-goal attempt of the contest. Boswell has now gone 11-for-11 on his field-goal attempts over the first half of the season, but he's converted on just 24 of his 27…read more

Perfect on extra-point tries
Boswell didn't have any field-goal attempts but converted on all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: The Steelers didn't attempt any field goals Sunday, but Boswell took care of business after four trips to the end zone as the team remained undefeated in 2020. Sunday marked the first game of the season in which the team didn't line up for a field goal, as the 29-year-old has gone 9-for-9 on his field-goal attempts while converting on 24 of his 25 extra-point tries. He'll face the Cowboys next week, a team that's provided a favorable matchup for opposing kickers this season.

Totals nine points in win
Boswell made both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Boswell's fantasy production has been remarkably consistent over the first six games of the season, and he had a season-high nine points in Week 7. The 29-year-old was perfect once again Sunday as he's now converted on all nine of his field-goal attempts while going 20-for-21 on extra-point tries. He faces a tough matchup against the Ravens in Week 8, but Boswell has been effective behind the Steelers' strong offensive attack.

Another eight-point effort
Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-7 win over the Browns.
Analysis: The Steelers were dominant on the scoreboard once again Sunday, and Boswell was a beneficiary as he recorded eight points for a second consecutive week. The 29-year-old converted on a 38-yard field goal in the first quarter for the first points of the game, and he was perfect on his subsequent extra-point attempts. Boswell has established himself as a decent fantasy option behind Pittsburgh's potent offense.

Records eight points in Week 5
Boswell converted on his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 38-29 win over the Eagles en route to recording eight points.
Analysis: Boswell has now gone 6-for-6 on his field-goal attempts to begin the season after converting on a 41-yard try Sunday. He also benefited from the high-scoring matchup against Philadelphia, as he was perfect on five extra-point attempts. Through the first four weeks of the season, Boswell has logged 30 points and profiles as a decent fantasy option while working behind Pittsburgh's offense.

Perfect again in win
Boswell made both his field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Texans.
Analysis: He connected on a 33-yard field goal to get Pittsburgh on the scoreboard and closed out his day with a 26-yard field goal, with two PATs sandwiched in between. Boswell has been a must-start option in all fantasy formats this season but faces a Tennessee defense in Week 4 that yields just 4.7 points per game to opposing kickers.

Perfect in win
Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt and a trio of extra-point tries in Pittsburgh's 26-21 win over Denver Sunday.
Analysis: He converted two PATs and a 21-yard field goal that gave Pittsburgh a 17-3 halftime lead. He remained perfect on the day after halftime, making good on his one point-after attempt in the second half. Allowing a league-worst 12.5 points per game to opposing kickers, Week 3 opponent Houston makes Boswell a must-start option in all formats.

Missed PAT in opener
Boswell made both his field-goal attempts but missed one of three extra-point attempts in Monday night's 26-16 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Coming off a solid 2019 season in which he converted 29 of 31 field goals and all 28 PATs, Boswell looked good for the most part. He converted field goals from 36 and 41 yards but missed his first extra point attempt of the game. He should have many more scoring opportunities given the strength of Pittsburgh's offense.

Four points in losing effort
Boswell made his lone field-goal (26 yards) and extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Boswell was the victim of an underwhelming offense and scored just four points for a third straight game. Still, this was a bounce-back year for Boswell, who finished the 2019 season as the eighth highest scoring kicker in the league and third best in the AFC. Playing in all 16 games, Boswell tied for first in the league by hitting 100 percent of his extra points (28) and third in the league with a 93.5 field-goal percentage -- converting 29 of 31 attempts -- with a long of 51 yards.

Hurt by offensive struggles
Boswell made his lone field-goal (49 yards) and extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: This was a repeat of Boswell's performance in Week 15 as Pittsburgh's offense continues to be anemic. Although he scored 11 points against Baltimore earlier this season, Boswell shouldn't be counted on by fantasy owners still playing in Week 17.

Four points in defensive battle
Boswell made his lone field-goal (49 yards) and extra-point attempt in Pittsburgh's 17-10 loss to Buffalo on Sunday night.
Analysis: Coming into the contest, the Bills had allowed the least fantasy points to opposing kickers (3.7 per game), so it was no surprise that Boswell would have few scoring opportunities. On a personal note, the field goal was the 125th of his career -- fourth most in franchise history. Boswell has a more attractive game in Week 16, as opposing kickers average 7.4 fantasy points per game against the Jets.

Stays hot in win
Boswell made all three of his field-goal tries (25, 30, 37) and both his extra-point attempts in Pittsburgh's 23-17 win over Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: Boswell capped Pittsburgh's first possession -- a 13 play drive -- with a field goal to start the scoring. Less than 90 seconds later he booted a PAT to give the Steelers a 10-0 lead. Pittsburgh hosts Buffalo in Week 15 and Boswell is one of only 16 players still on Pittsburgh's active roster from the last game between these two teams. Although he has been nearly perfect this season, fantasy owners may want to find another kicking option as the Bills yield the fewest fantasy points to opposing…read more

Perfect again in win
Boswell made both his field-goal attempts (29, 39) and both his extra-point tries in Pittsburgh's 20-13 win over Cleveland on Sunday.
Analysis: Trailing 10-0 with under three minutes remaining in the first half, Boswell finally got the Steelers some points with his 39-yard field goal. After a quick three-and-out by the Browns, he capped a 69-yard drive that took under a minute and ended with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Devlin Hodges to James Washington to tie the game at 10-10. Boswell has been nearly perfect all season, converting all 23 extra point attempts and 23 of 25 field goal tries (92%). Only Josh Lambo has a better field…read more

Kicks team to victory
Boswell made all three of his field-goal attempts (26, 26, 47) and his lone extra-point try in Pittsburgh's 16-10 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.
Analysis: After suffering his first missed kick under 50 yards last week and averaging just three points in the previous two games, Boswell delivered a nice effort in an otherwise low-scoring affair. With several players still on the mend -- and questions as to who will be under center for Pittsburgh in Week 13 -- fantasy owners should look elsewhere for a kicker against a Cleveland team that held Boswell to one point two weeks ago.

One point in loss
Boswell made his only extra-point attempt in Pittsburgh's 21-7 loss to Cleveland on Thursday night.
Analysis: Pittsburgh looked inept offensively in snapping a four-game win streak and Boswell was not immune to the struggle. He pushed his only field-goal attempt wide left and had his fewest points in a game since 2016. Pittsburgh has concerns with several players hurting and quarterback Mason Rudolph struggling heading into Week 12, but Cincinnati allows the second most points in the league to opposing kickers.

Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt (33) and both his PATs in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Boswell has missed only one field goal this season -- from 54 yards out -- and is perfect on his PATs. He has been one of the most reliable kickers this season and the red-hot Steelers enter their Week 11 game against Cleveland on a four-game win streak.

Scores 14 points in win
Boswell made all four of his field-goals (21, 26, 33, 51) and both PATs in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Colts.
Analysis: His fourth field goal proved to be the difference maker with under seven minutes remaining in the game. Despite the Steelers having an offense that is a shell of what it was last season, Boswell has managed to average 8.5 points per game and could have another solid showing in Week 10 against a Rams club that allows 7.5 fantasy points per game to opposing kickers.
