Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Joshua Karty

Saturday, September 13, 12:58 AM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott impressed in his season debut, going perfect for the game by making his sole field goal attempt of 58 yards and all three of his extra points. In Week 2 Elliott will travel to Kansas City for a matchup against the Chiefs, who allowed 27 points to the Chargers last week in a loss. The Chiefs gave up five scores on seven drives-excluding the final time Los Angeles had the ball when they ran the clock out. Facing a weak defense and having long range, Elliott should remain in fantasy lineups this week.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty is not a top fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Karty has been tough to trust on a week-by-week basis in his young career, leaving fantasy managers looking elsewhere for a high-ceiling option at the kicker position. Karty only attempted two kicks -- both successful extra points -- in the season opener, leaving him with a high success rate but low points total. He does carry more upside into Week 2 against a struggling Titans team, but he's merely a fringe top-15 fantasy option. He's startable in leagues with at least 14 teams but can probably be avoided in smaller formats.
