Jake Elliott News
Saturday, September 26, 12:43 PM
It has not been a particularly busy couple of weeks for Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott to begin the 2026 season, but he is yet to miss a kick. He's made both of his field goal attempts - one in each game - and has made all six of his extra point attempts thus far. The biggest positive for Elliott so far this season is that he made a 58-yard field goal against the Tennessee Titans last week. Kicking from distance has been a struggle for Elliott, as he made just four out of his eight attempts from 50 yards or more in 2025 and connected on just one of his seven tries from 50-plus yards in 2024 (5-for-15, 33.3%, over that two-year span). The Eagles haven't needed to rely on Elliott much in 2026, but it is early. He checks in as RotoBaller's No. 16 kicker for a Week 3 matchup with the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. According to RotoBaller, Elliott has a matchup rating of 92.0 and is projected to score 7.5 points this week. Elliott is currently rostered in just 8% of Yahoo leagues, so he is likely available for those looking for a streaming option. However, his volume is a bit too low to make an impact right now. Fantasy managers could do worse than Elliott, but there are likely better options available at kicker.

Ramiz Ahmed News
Saturday, August 10, 7:37 PM
Washington Commanders kicker Ramiz Ahmed went 1-for-1 on his field goal attempts and 2-for-2 on his extra-point attempts on Saturday afternoon. His field goal attempt came from 40 yards out. This is important to note because Riley Patterson missed his lone field goal try from 39 yards out. Brandon McManus was originally brought in during free agency to serve as the starting kicker in D.C. but was let go in June due to being involved with a civil lawsuit. As a result, this opened up a competition between Ahmed and Patterson, and after the team's first preseason game, Ahmed may be in the lead. Patterson does have more experience in the NFL and has gone 59-for-67 throughout the first four seasons of his career. Ahmed made only one NFL appearance back in 2022 with the Green Bay Packers and moved on to play for the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL last spring. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this competition as the winner could be fantasy-relevant, especially if rookie Jayden Daniels is able to adjust to the NFL fairly quickly and move the Washington offense downfield on a consistent basis.
