Jake Elliott News
Wednesday, July 22, 4:50 PM
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott doesn't currently have any competition as he enters training camp this summer, leading Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice to assume that he'll open the 2026 season as the team's placekicker again. The 31-year-old veteran and former fifth-rounder by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017 out of the University of Memphis made just 74.1% of his 27 field-goal attempts (4-for-8 from 50-plus yards) in 17 regular-season games in 2025 in his ninth year with the Eagles, and it didn't help matters that the offense had a hard time starting and sustaining drives. It was Elliott's second straight season and third overall in his career with a field-goal percentage under 80%. The Eagles are hoping to turn things around on offense and have the weapons to do so in 2026, but fantasy managers in standard 12-team leagues should have higher-floor options to choose from. Elliott finished as the No. 23 kicker in fantasy a year ago.

Jason Sanders News
Friday, September 25, 9:11 AM
Kicker Jason Sanders will kick for the New York Jets again in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions on the road, according to Brian Costello of The New York Post. It will be Sanders' third elevation from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster, so the Jets will have to sign him to the roster next week if he is going to continue as their primary placekicker. The Jets still have Blake Grupe as kicking insurance, but so far, Sanders has done an admirable job through the first two weeks of the 2026 season. The 30-year-old former seventh-round pick by the Miami Dolphins in 2018 from New Mexico has made four of his five field-goal attempts, with his only miss coming from 50-plus yards out. Sanders has made all four of his extra-point tries as well. It has been a solid start to Sanders' eighth season in the NFL, but fantasy managers should have higher-upside options available to them.
