Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Chase McLaughlin

Thursday, November 27, 1:12 AM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott just gave fantasy managers whiplash, going from his highest-volume performance of the season in Week 11 to missing his lone field goal attempt in Week 12. Elliott will kick at home in his upcoming game against the Bears, who give up the sixth-most points per game (26.5) in the NFL this season. While Chicago's defense should allow for plenty of scoring opportunities for Philly, Elliott has gotten just 14 tries at field goals this year and missed three of them. He isn't given consistent chances and isn't exactly automatic when his number is finally called. There are better kickers to roster in Week 13.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin gave fantasy managers a dud during last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. McLaughlin didn't see much action as he made his lone extra point attempt in the loss. McLaughlin didn't attempt any field goals in what was an ugly day for the Bucs offense. The hope is that things get better against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. However, quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint injury which could limit this offense. McLaughlin has been reliable when called upon, so as long as the Bucs can get in scoring position then he'll be able to succeed this weekend.
