Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Matthew Wright

Friday, November 21, 10:21 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had his most made field goals in a game so far this season last week against the Lions, nailing three-of-three and adding on an extra point for a perfect game. His longest make came from 49 yards out, so his performance didn't translate to a ton of fantasy points, but it was certainly nothing to scoff at (especially when compared to his previous point totals). This week, Elliott will kick against the Cowboys, who allow the second-most points per game (29.3) to opposing offenses in the league and give up the second-most fantasy points to kickers. For managers who stream kickers, Elliott is a solid option in Week 12, but don't be surprised if he gets back to his usual ways and has an underwhelming showing.

NFL reporter for the Houston Texans, Aaron Wilson, reported on Friday that the Texans will turn to Matthew Wright as their kicker in Week 10 as Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) is injured and not able to go against their division opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wright has kicked for multiple NFL teams and was last with the Washington Commanders. He has made 56 of 65 career kicks and 43 of 45 extra points. He has also kicked for the Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Jaguars, Wilson reports. This is a big matchup for the Texans, as a loss will send them further to the bottom of the AFC South standings. The Texans sit at (3-5), while the Jaguars are at (5-3), and both are looking up at the division leaders, the Indianapolis Colts, at (7-2). A win here for the Texans could continue to give them hope down the stretch and help them make a run with a big division win. The Jaguars have allowed the second-fewest points to opposing kickers, making Wright a challenging play in Week 10.
