Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Ryan Fitzgerald

Friday, November 14, 10:47 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made his only extra point attempt and his only field goal attempt from 39 yards in his most recent performance against the Green Bay Packers. While Elliott found his accuracy again, he was not given enough opportunities to put up any significant fantasy numbers in a game that ended 10-7. This week he'll kick against the Detroit Lions, who allow just 22.2 points per game to opposing offenses. Elliott has only made multiple field goals in one game this season, and is best left off of rosters until he shows some more fantasy production.

Ryan Fitzgerald is a viable fill-in option if a deeper one is needed for Week 10. In last week's game against the Green Bay Packers, the Carolina kicker nailed his only field goal attempt and was 1-for-2 on extra point attempts. The rookie kicker has recorded an average of 7.2 fantasy points this season while hitting all of his field goal attempts in four of the last five weeks. Over the last four weeks, the Saints have allowed 10 points per game to the kicker position, which ranks 28th of all teams. New Orleans has also given up an average of 27 points to opposing teams, which is tied for 24th-most in the league this season. The matchup appears to be favorable for Fitzgerald, and while he is ranked just 18th at kicker by RotoBaller for Week 10, he could provide adequate fantasy totals.
