Six points in win
Boswell hit his only field-goal (20) and all three PATs in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: With Devlin Hodges making his first NFL start and the offense already without Jaylen Samuels (concussion) and James Washington (shoulder), Pittsburgh still managed to jump out to a 24-0 lead, with Boswell converting all his kicks. After losing James Conner (quadricep) the offense sputtered, and Boswell didn't get another opportunity to score in the final 23 minutes. With a Week 7 bye, the offense has time to heal heading into a Week 8 matchup with the 0-5 Dolphins.

Remains perfect
Boswell made all three of his field-goals (29, 33, 41) and both PATs in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Boswell is now perfect in six straight games dating back to last season, with two or more field goals in five of those games. The offense has been erratic and will likely be led by rookie Devlin Hodges in Week 6 against a Chargers defense that allows opposing kickers just four fantasy points per game, fifth fewest in the league.

Stays hot in blowout win
Boswell hit both his field goals (29, 49) and all three PATs in Monday night's 27-3 win over Cincinnati.
Analysis: Boswell is one of only four kickers without a miss this season, hitting all seven field goals and all seven PATs through the first four games. The offense has averaged 24 points per game since Pittsburgh's awful 33-3 Week 1 loss to New England and now head into a Week 5 game against division-rival Baltimore's suddenly suspect defense. In two games against the Ravens last season, Boswell averaged just 5.5 fantasy points.

Remains perfect
Boswell made both his field-goals (26, 46) along with both his PATs in Sunday's 24-20 loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: After an awful 2018 campaign that had him competing to keep his job this preseason, Boswell looks more like the kicker named to the Pro Bowl in 2017. He remains perfect through three games, hitting all five of his field-goals and all four of his PATs. While Boswell appears to have worked out his kicking issues, the offense continues to struggle, averaging less than 17 points per game -- 10 fewer points per game than last season -- making him a risky fantasy play in Week 4 against the Bengals.

Perfect in disappointing loss
Boswell made both field-goal attempts (33, 41) and both PATs in Pittsburgh's 28-26 loss to Seattle on Sunday.
Analysis: The Steelers suffered numerous injuries while falling to 0-2, and it won't get any easier in Week 3 against the 2-0 49'ers. If fantasy owners haven't already done so, now might be the time to pursue other kicking options.

Game flow limits opportunities
Boswell made his lone field-goal (19) attempt in Pittsburgh's 33-3 loss to New England on Sunday.
Analysis: The Steelers were already trailing 27-0 when the only points they could generate came on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line with 10:17 remaining in the third quarter. The offense should turn things around, providing Boswell with the opportunity to put up big fantasy numbers, but, until they do, there are better kicking options available.

Perfect in win
Boswell hit both his field-goal attempts (33, 47) and his lone PAT in the Steelers' 30-28 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Friday.
Analysis: Just as head coach Mike Tomlin has stated, Boswell alternated kicking opportunities with Matthew Wright in a competition that is expected to last all of preseason. One missed kick could be the difference, as could their performance on kickoffs. Pittsburgh was 20th in the league in touchback percentage last season and Boswell failed to record a touchback in three tries against Tampa Bay.

Embedded in competition
Boswell will split snaps evenly with rookie Matthew Wright during Friday's preseason contest against the Buccaneers, Chris Adamski of triblive.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Mike Tomlin said the team's intention is to switch players "every other kick, regardless of circumstances." Boswell, who was named to the Pro Bowl in 2017, appears to be facing legitimate competition for the starting role following a poor 2018 campaign in which he converted only 13 of 20 field-goal attempts. Pittsburgh's kicker competition will be worth monitoring throughout the preseason.

Defers roster bonus
Boswell agreed Tuesday to defer his $2 million roster bonus until the end of the preseason, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Coming off an ugly season in which he missed seven field goals and five extra points, Boswell likely would have been released if he hadn't agreed to push the bonus back from March. He'll now have a chance to regain the stellar form he displayed from 2015 through 2017 while competing against Matthew Wright for the kicker job. Boswell returned healthy for OTAs after missing Week 17 of last season with a groin injury.

Will have competition
General manager Kevin Colbert indicated that Boswell (groin) will have competition for his position ahead of the upcoming season, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports.
Analysis: Boswell is due a $2 million roster bonus in March, so if he sticks around through the offseason to actually "have competition," he'd probably have a long leash entering the preseason. The hope is that Boswell can return to his 2017 Pro Bowl form.

Expected back in 2019
Boswell (groin) is expected to be on the Steelers' roster entering training camp, but he figures to have competition in advance of the 2019 season, Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Analysis: Boswell ended this past season on injured reserve after appearing in 15 games. The 27-year-old logged the poorest stats of his pro career in 2018, going 13-for-20 on field-goal attempts after hitting 89 percent of his kicks over his first three NFL campaigns. Boswell, who is under contract with the Steelers through 2022, is due a $2 million roster bonus in March and while the team is expected to retain the kicker at that juncture, Steelers president Art Rooney II did acknowledge "at a minimum…read more

Was sidelined with groin injury
A groin injury was at the root of Boswell's placement on injured reserve prior to Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bengals, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: The legitimacy of Boswell's groin issue is somewhat questionable, as the 27-year-old had displayed dreadful accuracy through the Steelers' first 15 games but was never regularly featured on the team's injury reports prior to being shut down. In any case, despite signing a four-year extension in August, Boswell is in danger of losing his roster spot for good in 2019 after converting only 13 of his 20 field-goal attempts and 43 of 48 extra-point tries before landing on IR. Further hurting…read more

Looks to rebound in 2019
Boswell, who was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury prior to Pittsburgh's 16-13 Week 17 win over Cincinnati, finished the season having made 13 of 20 field-goals and 43 of 45 PATs.
Analysis: His 65 percent success rate on field-goals was the lowest in the league among kickers with 20 or more attempts, and well below his career average of 89.5 percent entering the season. Boswell was signed to a hefty long-term contact after last season -- with over $7 million guaranteed -- so, despite his awful season, there is a strong chance he will be back kicking for Pittsburgh in 2019.

Lands on injured reserve
Boswell was placed on injured reserve Friday with an undisclosed injury.
Analysis: Boswell was nearly replaced following Week 15 after missing his seventh field-goal attempt of the season, but he responded by not missing a kick last week against the Saints. The 27-year-old was never listed on the injury report, so what he's actually dealing with is currently unclear. Pittsburgh signed Matt McCrane to handle kicking duties as the team heads into the final game of the regular season.

Does his part in crushing defeat
Boswell made both his field-goal attempts (30, 49) and both his PATs during Sunday's 31-28 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis: This was a rare perfect game for Boswell, who was waiting for an opportunity to attempt a potential game-tying field-goal, but he never got the chance when JuJu Smith-Schuster fumbled at the New Orleans 34-yard line with 41 seconds to play. Boswell was also perfect -- making both field-goal and both PATs -- earlier this season against Week 17 opponent Cincinnati, which allows the most fantasy points to kickers per game (8.9).

Misses again in win
Boswell made both of his extra-point attempts and one of two field-goals (48) during Sunday's 17-10 win over New England.
Analysis: The Steelers held an open tryout earlier in the week and may want to reconsider their decision to retain Boswell's services after he missed his seventh field goal attempt of the season. Head coach Mike Tomlin gave Boswell a vote of confidence following the contest, but New Orleans allows the fewest fantasy points per game to kickers (5.0), so it is advisable to look elsewhere regardless of who is kicking for Pittsburgh in Week 16.

Keeping kicking job
Boswell will remain the Steelers' kicker for the team's Week 15 matchup with the Patriots, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After Boswell missed his fifth and sixth field goal attempts of the season in the Week 14 loss to the Raiders -- the last of which prevented Pittsburgh from sending the game to overtime -- coach Mike Tomlin gave no assurances that the kicker would retain his job. The Steelers held an open tryout Wednesday featuring multiple kickers, but Boswell apparently restored some faith by knocking nine of 10 attempts in the workouts from various ranges, per Fowler. While he'll stick on the roster for now,…read more

Job put on notice
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Boswell will be forced to compete for his role as the Steelers' kicker over the next few days as the team holds an open tryout, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports. "He will be given an opportunity to play his way into this game [against the Patriots] this weekend," Tomlin said.
Analysis: Since being rewarded with a four-year extension during the preseason after converting 89.5 percent of his field-goal tries through his first three years in Pittsburgh, Boswell has completely fallen apart. The 27-year-old has missed five extra points this season -- two more than his total from 2015 through 2017 -- and has converted only 10 of 16 field-goal attempts, including a pair of misses in the loss to the Raiders over the weekend that prevented the Steelers from extending the game to…read more

Costly misses for third-straight loss
Boswell made all three extra-point conversions but missed both his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 24-21 loss to Oakland.
Analysis: Boswell's struggles have been legendary; he's missed three of his last five field-goal tries and six of 16 this season. He missed a 39-yard attempt -- his first miss inside of 40 yards this season -- then lost his footing on a potential game-tying 40-yard kick that was blocked. If he is still kicking for the Steelers in Week 15, he'll face the Patriots, who allow kickers an average of 7.3 fantasy points per game.

Kicking woes continue
Boswell made his only field-goal attempt (48) and converted three of four extra-point attempts during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: The field-goal was just Boswell's 10th of the year, tied for second fewest for a team this season, and he has now missed four extra-point attempts this season -- more than in his previous three seasons combined. He should get plenty of opportunities in Week 14 against Oakland, which allows the second most fantasy points to kickers per game (8.6).

Throws touchdown pass
Boswell made one of two field-goal attempts (41) and converted both his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Denver.
Analysis: His dreadful season continued when safety Justin Simmons blocked Boswell's 48-yard field goal attempt on Pittsburgh's first offensive drive of the game. However, he more than made up for the miss when the Steelers executed a timely fake field goal as time expired at halftime. Boswell took the direct snap on fourth-and-goal and threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to left tackle Alejandro Villanueva to tie the game at 10. This was the first Pittsburgh offensive lineman to catch a touchdown pass since…read more

Limited opportunities in win
Boswell made both his extra point tries during their 20-16 win against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Jacksonville did a good job against the potent Pittsburgh offense, resulting in Boswell's worst outing this season and his lowest point total since Week 6 of the 2016 season. The offense should fare better against Denver in Week 12.

Posts 10 points in win
Boswell made his only field-goal attempt (50 yards) and all seven extra-point tries during Thursday's 52-21 win over Carolina.
Analysis: This season has been one Boswell would surely like to forget, but he was perfect in Pittsburgh's blowout win, including connecting on his longest field goal of the year. Week 11 has him facing a Jacksonville team that allows opposing kickers 9.3 points per game, third worst in the league.

Misses yet again
Boswell made his only field-goal attempt (29 yards) and two of three extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-16 win over Baltimore.
Analysis: His streak of perfect games ends at two, and he has missed at least one attempt in five of eight games this season. Despite all the offensive weapons, Boswell is averaging just five points per game and faces the Panthers - who yield the third fewest points per game to opposing kickers - in Week 10.
