Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Parker Romo

Friday, October 17, 8:30 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has made less than two field goals in five out of six games this season, and his most recent performance was yet another example. While Elliott didn't miss anything, he made just one field goal of 42 yards and two extra points. He faces the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7, who allow just 19.4 points per game to opposing offenses-fifth-best in the league. It's best to sit Elliott in fantasy this weekend.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Parker Romo has filled in admirably since he was made the starter in Week 2, going 5-for-5 on extra points and 7-for-9 on field goal attempts, with his two misses coming from 49 yards and 55 yards out. The 28-year-old has been given at least two field goal attempts in each of his three games, and could be active again on Monday, with this matchup against Buffalo having one of the highest over/unders on the slate at 49.5. The game is in Atlanta, so Romo will not have to contend with the elements, however, there are likely safer and higher-upside options available to fantasy managers. The Virginia Tech product projects as a mid-range tier two kicker option on Monday versus the Bills.
