Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Spencer Shrader

Friday, October 3, 7:27 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott didn't put a ton of points on the board last Sunday against the Buccaneers, but he did stay perfect on the season by making his lone field goal attempt and all four of his extra points. While Elliott is still yet to miss this season, it's not necessarily translating to much fantasy value. He faces the Denver Broncos in Week 5, a defense tied for second-best in the league in terms of opponent points per game (16.8). For right now, there are likely better kickers available in most fantasy leagues.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Spencer Shrader has been one of the most productive fantasy kickers through the first four weeks of the season. Shrader's 13 field goals lead the NFL, while he is tied for the lead with 14 attempts thus far. He will look to stay hot in a Week 5 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders set up as an excellent matchup for Shrader as they are allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers so far. Shrader remains a top fantasy option and can be trusted as a top-six kicker heading into Week 5's slate.
