Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Tyler Loop

Friday, November 21, 10:21 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had his most made field goals in a game so far this season last week against the Lions, nailing three-of-three and adding on an extra point for a perfect game. His longest make came from 49 yards out, so his performance didn't translate to a ton of fantasy points, but it was certainly nothing to scoff at (especially when compared to his previous point totals). This week, Elliott will kick against the Cowboys, who allow the second-most points per game (29.3) to opposing offenses in the league and give up the second-most fantasy points to kickers. For managers who stream kickers, Elliott is a solid option in Week 12, but don't be surprised if he gets back to his usual ways and has an underwhelming showing.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop has now finished two weeks in a row as a K1, and all signs point to him continuing that streak. The rookie made a 24, 25, and 44-yard field goal in Week 11 to go along with two extra points. Loop and the Ravens take on the New York Jets in Week 12, and they are ranked last in terms of fantasy points allowed to kickers. They give up an average of 10.6 fantasy points per contest to the position, and the Ravens offense should be able to get Loop into range quite consistently. Fantasy managers can continue to roll with Loop as a starter, especially while the offense remains on the healthier side.
