Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Greg Joseph

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all three of his extra points but missed both of his field goal attempts in his most recent performance against the Commanders. This week, Elliott is up against the Bills, who tote an average defense allowing 22.9 points per game to their opponents this season-15th-fewest in the league. This game is chock-full of offensive talent, but even if it does turn into a shootout, Elliott has lost a lot of trust. In the last five weeks he has missed six of his 23 attempts between field goals and extra points. For managers streaming kickers, there are safer options for Week 17.

San Francisco 49ers kickers Jake Moody and Greg Joseph appear to be in a legitimate competition for the starting gig this fall. The two kickers are off to a strong start as they combined to go 8-for-8 on kicks during Wednesday's practice. They also both managed to knock down kicks from around 55 yards. Moody was selected 99th overall by the 49ers in 2023, but experienced a sophomore slump last season. He missed 10 field goal attempts and one extra point, which prompted the 49ers to bring in some competition. Joseph is a veteran kicker who has been around the league quite a bit. Last season, he knocked down 16-of-20 field goal attempts in eight games between three teams. Whoever wins this job should be worth rostering in fantasy leagues because it'll probably be a high-volume job.
