Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Ka'imi Fairbairn

Wednesday, October 8, 6:50 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made both of his extra points and his only field goal attempt from 31 yards against the Broncos to maintain his 100% accuracy rate this season. Unfortunately, his perfect streak still isn't translating to fantasy points. Elliott faces the Giants on Thursday night, a team that he made two-of-three field goals and six-of-six extra points against last year in two meetings. New York allows 25.4 points per game this season, but Elliott should probably still sit this fantasy week out until he starts putting up more numbers week-to-week.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn went 2-for-3 on field goals last week and made both his extra point attempts. He is 4-for-4 on extra point attempts this season and 8-for-10 on field goals, with both his misses coming from 50+ yards. He and the Texans knocked off the Titans 26-0 for their first win of the season last week and will look to make it two in a row as they visit the Ravens on Sunday. Fairbairn is the No. 11 kicker in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 5, and he can be a strong play against Baltimore on the road, even though he isn't in a controlled environment or backed up by an extremely productive offense right now.
