The Memphis product converted kicks of 24, 40 (twice), and 50 yards on the afternoon, missing his longest attempt of the day -- a 56-yarder at the end of the first half. Still, Elliott was excellent in the semi-finals, pushing fantasy managers to victory with a huge day. It could have been a very different outing, too, considering quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) was forced from the contest and did not return. The 29-year-old is now 24-of-31 on the year on field goal attempts and has missed just one of his 41 point-after attempts. He'll square off against the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday in Week 17.

Elliott missed a 52-yard attempt in the third quarter last week, marking his sixth missed field goal this season.

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.

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.
