Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Harrison Mevis

Friday, November 14, 10:47 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made his only extra point attempt and his only field goal attempt from 39 yards in his most recent performance against the Green Bay Packers. While Elliott found his accuracy again, he was not given enough opportunities to put up any significant fantasy numbers in a game that ended 10-7. This week he'll kick against the Detroit Lions, who allow just 22.2 points per game to opposing offenses. Elliott has only made multiple field goals in one game this season, and is best left off of rosters until he shows some more fantasy production.

The Los Angeles Rams elevated kicker Harrison Mevis to their active roster from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks. Mevis signed with the Rams in early November and will kick in his second NFL game in Week 11 in place of Joshua Karty, who has struggled this season. He made all six extra points last week against the 49ers, but didn't attempt any field goals. The 23-year-old steps into one of the most favorable fantasy situations for a kicker with an elite Rams offense that produces plenty of scoring opportunities. Mevis immediately ranks as one of the better kickers to own in fantasy, coming in at No. 12 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 11.
