Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Riley Patterson

Wednesday, October 8, 6:50 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made both of his extra points and his only field goal attempt from 31 yards against the Broncos to maintain his 100% accuracy rate this season. Unfortunately, his perfect streak still isn't translating to fantasy points. Elliott faces the Giants on Thursday night, a team that he made two-of-three field goals and six-of-six extra points against last year in two meetings. New York allows 25.4 points per game this season, but Elliott should probably still sit this fantasy week out until he starts putting up more numbers week-to-week.

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson was signed to the active roster before Week 4's win over the Jets and will continue to fill in for as long as Jason Sanders (hip) remains sidelined. Patterson has connected on all four of his field goal attempts and all nine of his extra points this season. He hasn't attempted anything from beyond 50 yards, and the Dolphins' offense has struggled, which has limited his opportunities. He is in a favorable environment and matchup this week, though, so he's a workable bye week fill-in if you need him. He's the No. 18 K in RotoBaller's rankings, so he works as an option in deep leagues if you're desperate.
