Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Harrison Mevis

Friday, December 26, 11:24 PM

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.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis posted double-digit fantasy points in his last outing, but he still didn't reach his full potential after missing a late field goal. Mevis ultimately went 4-for-4 on extra points and 3-for-4 on field goals in the loss to Seattle. He is the sixth-highest-scoring fantasy kicker over his last three games but could have ranked even higher if not for the miss. The Missouri product gets an opportunity to bounce back on Monday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. Kicking in a dome bodes well for Mevis, and he has a very high ceiling given that Atlanta has allowed the third-most fantasy points to kickers in 2025. Between the recent track record, his role in a high-scoring offense, and an extremely favorable matchup, it appears that the stars have aligned for Mevis to have another big game on Monday night. He's a top-eight kicker for Week 17 fantasy football.
