Five points in Week 2 Folk made one of his two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Steelers en route to recording five points.

Impact Folk, whose miss in the contest was a 52-yard attempt, now has just six points through New England's first two games. Chances are, he'll pick up the pace as the season progresses, but the veteran kicker's fantasy ceiling hinges on more consistent efforts from the team's QB Mac Jones-helmed offense.

Impact Folk put together a consistent 2021 season, converting 36 of his 39 field-goal attempts and 42 of his 47 extra-point attempts. That was enough for the Patriots to commit to him for a pair of additional campaigns.

Records 150 points in 2021 Folk made 36 of his 39 field-goal attempts and 42 of 47 extra-point attempts during the 2021 regular season, totaling 150 points over 17 games.

Impact Folk, who has been in the NFL since 2007, easily eclipsed his previous career high in points (131) through his first 16 games in 2021, then added six more in the team's regular-season finale to tie Las Vegas' Daniel Carlson for the league lead in that category. The 37-year-old, who managed a left knee issue down the stretch, is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. His strong campaign should land him a kicking job in 2022, though it's unclear if New England inteds to bring him back. Quinn Nordin -- who recently signed a future contract with New England -- would be an option if Folk isn't re-signed.
