Fantasy football fans are scratching their heads as Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has outscored defensive superstar T.J. Watt in fantasy points through Week 11. In what many are calling one of the most unexpected developments of the season, Boswell’s precision kicking is proving more valuable in fantasy leagues than Watt’s typically game-changing defensive performances.
Boswell has tallied XX fantasy points, thanks to his consistent field goal accuracy and ability to hit from long range, including a clutch yarder in Week 11 against. Meanwhile, T.J. Watt, despite being a dominant force on the field with sacks and pressures this season, has seen fewer fantasy contributions in recent weeks as defenses adjust to his relentless pressure.
The Steelers’ reliance on Boswell has been a key factor in close games this season, with the kicker often serving as the team’s most reliable scoring option amid offensive struggles. Fantasy managers who took a chance on Boswell are celebrating, while those banking on Watt’s usual monster numbers are left wanting more.
“It’s crazy to think that our kicker is outscoring one of the best defenders in the league,” said one Steelers fan on social media. “Boswell’s been clutch, though, so I’m not complaining!”
As the Steelers push toward a potential playoff berth, both Boswell and Watt will continue to play pivotal roles for the team, albeit in different ways. Fantasy managers, however, will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on this surprising storyline as the season progresses.
