Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Cameron Dicker

Friday, November 7, 10:53 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has now missed field goal attempts in back-to-back games, going one-for-two in Week 8 against the New York Giants. At first, the problem with Elliott was his lack of kicking opportunities despite his consistent accuracy. Now, the problem is both his opportunities and his accuracy. While he did hit five extra points to pick up the slack, managers can't depend on Philly scoring five touchdowns every week. Elliott is best left off of rosters heading into his Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker, who has missed only two field goals all season, remains a highly accurate and reliable fantasy option. This week, he heads to Jacksonville, where the game is expected to be played in pleasant 77-degree sunny weather at kickoff, ideal conditions for a kicker. Against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has shown vulnerability to allowing points, Dicker should get multiple scoring opportunities. His consistent accuracy, combined with favorable game conditions, makes him a high-floor starter. Dicker is projected as K6 this week and is a must-start in all formats.
