Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts Thursday and missed one of his three extra-point attempts during the team's 26-18 win over the Washington Commanders. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni finally elected to try and take the points this week instead of going for it constantly on fourth down, but Elliott continued to struggle like he has all year and missed multiple kicks. Perhaps there is a reason Sirianni has been so aggressive on fourth down in plus territory, but it is more likely that one of last season's most accurate kickers just had an off night. Regardless, he is far too risky to trust for fantasy moving forward and should be left on waivers until we see more consistent production.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face off against the Washington Commanders on Thursday night football in Week 11. The 29-year-old had his second-best fantasy performance of the season last week against the Dallas Cowboys, nailing two short field goals and converting all four of his extra-point attempts. The Commanders' defense is much better than the Cowboys at the moment, so expecting another easy outing for the veteran is a bit of a stretch. However, there is a real chance this game becomes a shootout with two high-powered offenses vying for the No. 1 spot in the NFC East, leading to a solid night for Elliott. Consider the Eagles kicker a boom-or-bust streamer like we have for the majority of this season in Week 11.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face off against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10. The 29-year-old had a rough outing last week, missing one of two field goal attempts and only needing to convert one extra point with head coach Nick Sirianni constantly going for two. The aggressive nature of the Eagles' offense is a double-edged sword for Elliott, making him incredibly inconsistent for fantasy managers. Dallas is struggling on defense at the moment and could be allowing even more points to Philadelphia now that they are at full strength. The veteran kicker is a streamer because of the matchup, but he is boom or bust.
Nov 8, 2024 9:07 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made one of two field goal attempts and converted his lone extra point attempt during the team's 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. After his best week of the season, the 29-year-old came back to earth in Week 9 and missed a long field goal attempt late in the game that would have given the Eagles an eight-point lead rather than a five-point one. It went on not to matter in the end, but the up-and-down season for Elliott continues. At this point, fantasy managers need to consider him a boom-or-bust streaming option who only needs to be started in plus matchups. That applies next week when the Eagles take on a reeling Cowboys team.
Nov 4, 2024 9:18 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face off against the 2-6 Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. The 29-year-old hitting all three of his field goals with two being from 40-plus yards away and connecting on all four of his extra-point attempts. The Philadelphia offense has started to click over the past three weeks and it has put the veteran kicker back on the streaming radar. Elliott can be seen as a boom or bust option in Week 9, as the Eagles should be in scoring position often, but if they find the end zone at a high rate we may not see many field goal opportunities.
Nov 1, 2024 8:14 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made three field goals from 39, 47, and 49 yards away and converted four extra point attempts during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. This was by far the 29-year-olds best fantasy performance of the season and his only one so far with at least three field goals converted. The Eagles offense has started to gel nicely since the bye and with their upcoming schedule, Elliott is a solid addition for those struggling to get production from their current kicker. He will be highly recommended next week as the Eagles take on a terrible Jacksonville defense.
Oct 27, 2024 7:56 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. The 24-year-old did not need to attempt a field goal last week in the Eagles' blowout win over the New York Giants, making for a poor fantasy performance propelled by four extra-point conversions. It has been a rough fantasy season for a man who had the best fantasy season of his career just last year, but this is a potentially high-scoring matchup where he could be needed, leaving him right on the streaming radar in Week 8. It is risky, but the matchup warrants the attention of fantasy managers who are struggling to find a kicker this week.
Oct 25, 2024 8:19 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The veteran has started the season slow, missing both his tries from more than 50 yards and converting just six field goals all year. The Eagles' aggressive offense in plus territory has stifled Elliott's fantasy managers at every turn so far this season, but because the offense can find its way into scoring territory often, he remains on the streaming radar in plus matchups. With the Giants ranking middle of the pack against fantasy kickers this season, Elliott should be considered a boom or bust streamer in Week 7.
Oct 18, 2024 9:02 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott converted two of his three field goal attempts and nailed both extra-point tries during the team's 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. After three straight down weeks for the 29-year-old, he was able to give fantasy managers a solid performance even with a blocked field goal attempt that turned into a touchdown. The Eagles offense is still going for it at a high rate on fourth down, leading to frustrating results for fantasy managers. With that said, the Eagles' next three matchups are against the New York Giants, Cincinnati Bengals, and Jacksonville Jaguars. None of those defenses are scary by any means, and the Eagles offense should be able to get into scoring range often. Elliott will be on the streaming radar again next week.
Oct 13, 2024 8:32 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 29-year-old has had a slow start to the season after putting up career numbers last season. Through four games he has just four field goals converted and has done little for fantasy managers. With that said, this week's matchup against a struggling Cleveland Browns defense sets the veteran up for a bounce-back performance. The Browns are tied for the ninth-most fantasy points allowed per game to opposing kickers and the Eagles offense has regained their top two pass catchers in A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion). While these additions may take some field goal opportunities off the board if they find the end zone, the Eagles should be in scoring range often. Consider Elliott a back-end K1 option in Week 6.
Oct 11, 2024 3:20 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. The 29-year-old had the best season of his career in 2023 but has been off to a slow start in 2024. Last week was a defensive back-and-forth between the Eagles and Saints, leaving Elliott with one failed field goal attempt and only one extra-point conversion. Things should be better this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the Eagles offense could struggle to move the ball with DeVonta Smith (concussion) out and A.J. Brown (hamstring) questionable. Elliott is shaping up to be a boom-or-bust streaming option in Week 4.
Sep 27, 2024 8:27 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. The 29-year-old did not have much involvement last week, kicking just one short field goal and converting two extra points. Better days are ahead for the Eagles kicker and it could start this week against New Orleans. The Saints have held opponents out of the end zone well through two weeks, but have allowed five field goals, tied for 11th-most in the league through two weeks. Fantasy managers can continue to roll out Elliott with confidence in Week 3.
Sep 20, 2024 2:20 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2 on Monday night. The 29-year-old was perfect in the opener, nailing two short-field goals and converting all four of his extra-point attempts. While it was a good week for kickers around the league last week, Elliott remains a top-tier fantasy option going up against Atlanta, who just allowed Steelers kicker Chris Boswell to score six field goals against them in Week 1. Continue to fire up Elliott as an elite fantasy option in Week 2.
Sep 13, 2024 8:04 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott overcame the horrid field conditions in Friday's win over the Green Bay Packers. The veteran made both field goal attempts, successfully draining kicks from 38 yards and 21 yards, respectfully. He also made all four extra-point tries. Elliott, who signed a four-year extension this offseason, was one of the best fantasy kickers throughout the 2023-24 campaign. That's not expected to change, meaning he should remain in all fantasy lineups heading into the Eagles Week 2 showdown with the Falcons.
Sep 7, 2024 12:49 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will travel to Brazil to take on the Green Bay Packers in the team's regular season opener on Friday night. The 29-year-old signed a four-year, $24 million extension this past offseason, making him tied for the highest paid kicker annually with Baltimore's Justin Tucker. Elliott deserved every bit of the extension, hitting 30 of his 32 field goal attempts and converting 45 of 46 extra points. After attempting only 23 field goals in 2022 (the second-lowest amount of his career) the veteran proved to be one of the most valuable fantasy assets at the position last season and heads into Week 1 as a top five option.
Sep 4, 2024 1:12 PM EST
The Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing kicker Jake Elliott to a four-year, $24 million contract extension, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. Elliott earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2023 after making 30 of his 32 field-goal attempts and 45 of his 46 extra points. His longest field goal of the year was from 61 yards. The 29-year-old finished tied for fifth among kickers in fantasy points per game (9.2) last year, and he should remain a top-12 fantasy kicker for years to come behind a strong Eagles offense. He is now tied with Justin Tucker as the highest-paid kicker based on average salary ($6 million).
Mar 13, 2024 4:22 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 28-year-old came in clutch last week against the Buffalo Bills, sending a 59-yard field goal through the uprights in a torrential downpour to send the game into overtime. Elliott has not attempted multiple field goals since Week 5, but in a matchup that is so pivotal for both teams, there is no better spot to fire up the veteran. With a high floor due to the sheer amount of extra point attempts, the Eagles' kicker should be considered a top 12 fantasy option with the potential to finish top five on the week if he converts multiple field goals in Week 13.
Dec 1, 2023 8:55 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 on Monday night. The 28-year-old is two field goal conversions away from tying his total from a season ago. However, Elliott has been on a bit of a cold streak over the past four weeks, hitting just two of three attempts and not attempting a field goal for the first time this season in the Eagles' last game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. With that said, this week's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs could amount to more field goal attempts due to how good the team has been at keeping opponents out of the end zone. It makes the Eagles kicker a risky option but gives him a high ceiling for those looking to inject a bit of upside into their lineups.
Nov 17, 2023 4:04 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face off against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. The 28-year-old got back on track last week, converting all five of his extra point attempts and converting a field goal from over 50 yards away. He will now face a Dallas defense that has done well keeping opposing offenses out of the end zone and out of field goal range. This has been against subpar offenses most of the time, but this game is set up to be an absolute brawl, and it will cap the fantasy ceiling of Elliott. However, with four teams on bye and the Eagles kicker being one of the best fantasy options this season, there is no reason to sit him despite a tough matchup. Consider Elliott a top 10 option in Week 9.
Nov 3, 2023 8:26 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will travel to Washington to take on the Commanders in Week 8. The 28-year-old got back on track last week, converting all four extra point attempts and hitting a short field goal against the Miami Dolphins. The last time Elliott faced the Commanders back in Week 8, he posted his highest fantasy total of the season, nailing four field goals, with three being from 40 yards or more out. Philadelphia's offense has started to gel since these teams last met and should have no problems scoring against Washington. Elliott is just three field goal conversions away from tying his total from all of 2022, so continue to start the busy kicker in Week 8 and beyond.
