Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 3 on Monday night. The 28-year-old is on pace to smash last year's production. Through two games, he has already converted 6-of-7 field goals, with three of them being from 50 or more yards away. For context, Elliott converted just 20 field goals in 2022. Philadelphia has to settle for more three-point attempts than last year, much to the fantasy benefit of the veteran kicker. Tampa Bay's defense has not let up a ton of points through two games, but the matchup matters little when it comes to the Eagles' offense. Elliott should have plenty of chances to convert kicks and carries a high fantasy-scoring floor and ceiling heading into the prime-time matchup. Elliott is a must-start option in Week 3.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was perfect on field goals in Week 1, and he'll look to carry that perfection into a Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The kicker nailed three attempts from 38 yards, 36 yards, and 35 yards last week in Baltimore. It was an easy week for Fairbairn, who kicked just three short-field goals for Houston. After only missing two tries last year, the Texans' kicker is already off to a great start in 2023. But, with a rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud under center, the team could struggle offensively to get into Fairbairn's range. For now, he should only be started in deep leagues in Week 2.
