Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Daniel Carlson

Friday, December 5, 10:26 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott missed multiple kicks in a single game for the first time this season against the Chicago Bears, with one of those being his first missed extra point this year. Elliott is tied for the fewest made field goals in the league, hitting just 12 through 13 weeks. This week, Philly plays a Chargers defense that allows 21 points per game, which is the 11th-fewest in the league. With the Eagles recent struggles on offense and Elliott coming off of his worst performance yet, it's best to seek out another kicker for Week 14.

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson hasn't been able to offer fantasy managers much value over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, Carlson is 1-for-2 on field goal attempts, while making 3-of-4 extra point attempts. The 30-year-old hasn't been great this season, but he also doesn't get a ton of chances. The promising news is that Carlson is heading into a favorable matchup in Week 11. The Raiders will face off against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. The Cowboys have struggled to contain anyone this season, so the Raiders should be able to get into scoring position. Carlson isn't an ideal fantasy option, but he should offer better value than he has the past few weeks.
