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).

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.

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.

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.
Oct 27, 2023 9:02 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 7 on Sunday night. The 28-year-old scored double-digit fantasy points through the first five weeks of the season before imploding last week against the Jets. His lone field goal attempt was a rare miss, and he converted just two extra points. The Eagles offense was a mess against a game New York defense, but they should have an easier time this week against Miami. This game has one of the highest implied point totals of the week. Elliott should have plenty of chances to score fantasy points and bounce back after an abysmal Week 6 performance. Consider the Eagles kicker a top-tier option in Week 7.
Oct 20, 2023 7:23 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the New York Jets in Week 6. The top-scoring fantasy kicker on the season, the 28-year-old has converted three or more field goals in all but one game through five weeks. He is in line for another big performance in Week 6 against a Jets defense that has the most field goals attempted against them and has allowed the second-most conversions. Even if the Eagles find their way into the end zone multiple times this weekend, it seems like a guarantee that Elliott will attempt multiple field goals. Continue to fire up the veteran kicker as a top option.
Oct 13, 2023 9:24 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. The top fantasy kicker of the season through four weeks, Elliott already has 13 field goals, more than half of his 2022 total, and made four last week against the Commanders. Four of his attempts on the season have been from 50 or more yards away. The 28-year-old has been money all season and should continue to be a top-tier option in Week 5 against the Rams. Los Angeles has done well keeping opponents out of the end zone through four weeks, but Philadelphia has had no issues getting into field goal range and will give Elliott plenty of chances to score. Keep rolling the Eagles place kicker out there and enjoy the fantasy goodness.
Oct 5, 2023 8:54 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. The 28-year-old has been crushing it so far in 2023. He has made seven of eight field goals over three weeks, with three of them being from over 50 yards out. Elliott has put up double-digit points every week, and this one should be no different. Washington has allowed an average of 32 points to be scored over the past two weeks and will likely struggle to generate pressure with the Eagles offensive line. Expect a heavy dose of extra point attempts with a shot at a few field goals for Elliott in Week 4.
Sep 29, 2023 8:44 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 3 on Monday night. The 28-year-old is on pace to smash last year's production. Through two games, he has already converted 6-of-7 field goals, with three of them being from 50 or more yards away. For context, Elliott converted just 20 field goals in 2022. Philadelphia has to settle for more three-point attempts than last year, much to the fantasy benefit of the veteran kicker. Tampa Bay's defense has not let up a ton of points through two games, but the matchup matters little when it comes to the Eagles' offense. Elliott should have plenty of chances to convert kicks and carries a high fantasy-scoring floor and ceiling heading into the prime-time matchup. Elliott is a must-start option in Week 3.
Sep 21, 2023 10:18 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made 2-of-3 field goals and converted all four extra point attempts during the team's 34-28 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old missed his first field goal of the season from 55 yards out at the end of the first quarter but made his longest of the season from 61 yards away before going into halftime. Elliott attempted just 23 field goals in 2022 but is now at seven attempts in just two games. The Eagles kicker is a much more reliable fantasy option than he was a year ago, and he has proven to be able to hit on long field goal attempts multiple times. He should be considered a top-12 option against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week.
Sep 15, 2023 10:11 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face the Minnesota Vikings in the team's season opener on Thursday night. After a phenomenal Week 1, where the 28-year-old hit four field goals (two from over 50 yards out), he will now face the Minnesota Vikings in a potentially high-scoring affair. After putting up low-end fantasy numbers last season due to the increased touchdown rate Philadelphia had, Elliott was viewed as a bit boom-or-bust heading into the regular season. However, he has a stable floor and increased upside when the Eagles play tough defenses. This week could be a letdown in comparison to last. Minnesota's defense is nowhere near the caliber of New England and will likely let up more touchdowns to Philadelphia. With that said Elliott is a safe option in Week 2 with a top-five upside.
Sep 13, 2023 8:45 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made four field goals and missed his lone extra point attempt during the team's 25-20 victory over the New England Patriots in the season opener. The 28-year-old completed kicks from 32, 48, 51, and 56 yards out, giving fantasy managers a massive performance. The extra point that was missed was early in the contest when the rain was coming down hard and heavily affecting field conditions. Elliott will have weeks where he attempts little to no field goals due to the nature of Philadelphia's high-powered offense. However, the veteran kicker has a high fantasy ceiling in matchups with stiff defenses like this one. The Vikings are up next for Philadelphia in their home opener on Thursday. Elliott should be considered a high-end streaming option in Week 2.
Sep 10, 2023 9:12 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to face the New England Patriots to open the regular season this Sunday. The 28-year-old attempted only 23 field goals in 2022, the second-fewest of his career. Philadelphia was an offensive juggernaut and rarely needed to attempt three-pointers when in scoring range. That likely will remain the same in 2023, but Elliott should attempt more with a much tougher strength of schedule on Philadelphia's slate. The veteran kicker will provide fantasy managers with a solid scoring baseline after attempting a career-high 53 extra-point attempts last season. However, his ceiling is capped against poor defenses. This week's matchup against New England is solid, and Elliott can be streamed for those without one of the elite options in Week 1.
