Jake Elliott Has First Miss of Season, Not Worth Starting

Friday, October 24, 11:01 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had his first missed field goal of the season against the Vikings as a 42-yard attempt sailed wide right in the fourth quarter. He did, however, make all four of his extra points. As it stands, Elliott is already an unreliable fantasy kicker with his lack of attempts, and he's even more unappealing if he starts missing. The Eagles will host the Giants in Week 8, and New York allows 25.3 points per game-10th-most in the league. But even with a below-average defense, Elliott has not shown that he's start-worthy in fantasy.

Commanders Release Matthew Wright

Tuesday, October 28, 5:14 PM

The Washington Commanders announced on Tuesday that they released kicker Matthew Wright from their practice squad. Wright was added to the active 53-man roster for Monday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with Matt Gay (back) out, but now the 29-year-old will be back on the open market. Wright made his only kicking attempt in Week 8, an extra point on the team's only score of the game in a 28-7 loss. The move to cut Wright essentially means that the Commanders feel comfortable that Gay will be ready to kick on Sunday night in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wright has now kicked in one game each for Washington and Tennessee, making his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries. Fantasy managers should have better options at the position than Gay in Week 9.
