Folk made 32 of his 37 field-goal attempts this past season, while hitting 32 of his 35 extra-point tries in 17 games.
What it means:
In the process, Folk logged 128 points, which was 22 less than he scored in 2021, but still enough to keep the veteran kicker on the fantasy radar. The 38-year-old remains under contract with the Patriots for one more season and as long as he can stay healthy, Folk should continue maintain fantasy utility in 2023.
Folk converted his only field-goal try while going 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-21 victory over the Dolphins.
What it means:
After missing both of his extra-point attempts in the Patriots' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, Folk was able to nail a 49-yard field goal in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The kicker did miss a PAT in the contest and he has now gone 2-for-5 on extra points over the last two weeks after starting the season a perfect 28-for-28. On the campaign, the 38-year-old has converted 31 of 36 field-goal tries, including 4-for-5 from 50 or more yards.
Folk missed two point-after tries during Saturday's 22-18 loss to the Bengals.
What it means:
Folk came into the contest with 30 made field goals, most in the NFL. However, he didn't garner an attempt in Week 16 and missed both of his PATs en route to his worst statistical performance of the campaign. It's unclear if the veteran kicker suffered an injury during the contest, but his status should be monitored after an uncharacteristic performance.
Folk made all three of his field-goal attempts and his only PAT attempt in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.
What it means:
Folk continued his strong season with successful kicks from 24, 47 and 54 yards, but his nice performance was overshadowed by New England's catastrophic final play, which allowed the Raiders to score a walk-off touchdown. The veteran kicker has made 30 of 35 field-goal attempts in 2022, leading the league in both categories.
Folk converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Monday's 27-13 win over the Cardinals.
What it means:
Folk has converted 27 of 32 field-goal attempts through 13 appearances this season, and he remains perfect on his 27 extra-point tries. The veteran could again see solid scoring opportunities against the Raiders in Week 15.
Folk made one of of his two field-goal attempts in Thursday's 24-10 loss to the Bills en route to recording four points in the contest.
What it means:
Though 12 games, Folk has racked up 99 points, but of late the veteran kicker's fantasy prospects have been hindered by an inconsistent New England offense. Folk will have an opportunity to bounce back in Week 14, when the Patriots face the 4-8 Cardinals on the road.
