Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Blake Grupe

Friday, October 18, 9:02 PM

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.

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe made the most of the Week 6 defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Grupe had a perfect day, hitting field goals from 29 and 42 yards out and converting all three of his extra point attempts in the 51-27 loss which resulted in his best fantasy score since Week 1. He is 10-for-10 on field goal attempts in 2024 though he has missed two extra points. The Saints open Week 7 with a Thursday night matchup against the Denver Broncos. The game is expected to be a low-scoring affair given Denver's defensive prowess and lack of firepower on offense. As such, Grupe's upside is limited in a game where scoring chances are expected to be few and far between. Grupe has not done enough this season to separate himself from the pack so fantasy managers should have no qualms about streaming another kicker in Week 7.
