Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will aim to stay reliable in Week 16 as the team travels to Washington to face the Washington Commanders. Last week, Elliott connected on two field goals and three extra points in the Eagles' 27-13 victory over the Steelers This marked the eighth time this season that Elliott has made multiple field goals in a game. While Elliott has yet to convert a kick from beyond 50 yards in 2024, Philadelphia's efficient offense has consistently put him in scoring situations. Fantasy managers can trust him as a steady option heading into this divisional matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott was perfect in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, converting both of his field-goal attempts from 34 and 41 yards while going 3-for-3 on extra points. Elliott's reliable performance helped ensure the Eagles capitalized on their scoring opportunities in a game where the offense was firing on all cylinders. While Elliott has struggled with longer-range kicks this season, he remains a consistent option for fantasy managers. This marked Elliott's fifth double-digit fantasy performance of the year, solidifying his value as a dependable fantasy kicker. He will look to build on this momentum in a Week 16 matchup against the Washington Commanders on the road.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will look to regain his consistency against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15. Elliott missed a 52-yard attempt in the third quarter last week, marking his sixth missed field goal this season. Despite his struggles from long range going 0-for-5 on kicks over 50 yards Elliott remains reliable inside 40 yards, where he has been perfect this season. The Steelers defense is one of the toughest in the league, allowing just 18.3 points per game, which ranks fifth in the NFL. While opportunities may be limited in this defensive battle, Elliott's accuracy on shorter kicks keeps him in consideration for fantasy managers, though his ceiling is capped in a matchup where points may come at a premium.
Dec 13, 2024 7:35 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott went 2-for-2 on extra points but missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Elliott's miss came from 52 yards out, which means he still hasn't hit a kick from beyond 50 yards in 2024. All in all, he is 18-for-24 on field goals this year, which equates to a 75 percent success rate that would rank as the second-lowest mark of his career. Elliott checks in from outside the top 20 kickers in fantasy points and can be left on waivers in most leagues heading into Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Dec 8, 2024 11:58 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has emerged as a potential must-start fantasy option heading into Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers. Elliott ranks 20th among kickers in fantasy points this season, but he has played well lately, going 4-for-4 on field goals and 7-for-7 on extra points over his last two games. In addition to his latest accuracy, Elliott gets a very favorable Week 14 matchup against the Panthers, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2024. Carolina has surrendered an average of 2.9 extra points and 2.2 field goals per game, and those numbers could jump even higher after this week's contest against a strong Eagles offense. Scoring opportunities will be plentiful for Elliott on Sunday. He's a top option ahead of this week's fantasy football matchups.
Dec 7, 2024 9:24 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott delivered a solid performance in the team's 24-19 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. He made his only field goal attempt from 35 yards and made all three extra-point attempts. Elliot sits at the K20 this season since he has yet to make a 50-yarder and has only gone 18-for-23 overall. Most of his kicking work has come after touchdowns, but he's reliably registered around seven fantasy points per game. He'll look to get some more attempts against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14.
Dec 2, 2024 10:28 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott hit three field goals from 21, 26, and 31 yards away and converted all four extra point attempts during the team's 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams. After his worst performance of the season in Week 11, the veteran kicker was perfect in LA Sunday night and had a solid fantasy performance. Predicting Elliott's big games has been tough this season, but the Eagles offense has been more conservative as of late and has decided to take points when they can rather than go for it on fourth down. Elliott remains boom-or-bust but will be a streamer in any game the Eagles play poor defenses.
Nov 25, 2024 9:33 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The veteran has had a rough season for fantasy purposes. After being passed up multiple times this season on fourth down in favor of going for it, the team finally decided to try and take the points often last week against Washington. Elliott proceeded to miss two of four field goals and also missed one of his three extra-point attempts. Playing in Los Angeles is favorable for him, but it will be interesting to see what direction head coach Nick Sirianni will go when in field goal range on fourth down after last week's poor performance. Even with six teams on bye, Elliott remains tough to trust in Week 12.
Nov 23, 2024 7:38 AM EST
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.
Nov 15, 2024 11:52 AM EST
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.
Nov 14, 2024 8:24 AM EST
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.
