Jake Elliott News
Wednesday, July 22, 4:50 PM
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott doesn't currently have any competition as he enters training camp this summer, leading Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice to assume that he'll open the 2026 season as the team's placekicker again. The 31-year-old veteran and former fifth-rounder by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017 out of the University of Memphis made just 74.1% of his 27 field-goal attempts (4-for-8 from 50-plus yards) in 17 regular-season games in 2025 in his ninth year with the Eagles, and it didn't help matters that the offense had a hard time starting and sustaining drives. It was Elliott's second straight season and third overall in his career with a field-goal percentage under 80%. The Eagles are hoping to turn things around on offense and have the weapons to do so in 2026, but fantasy managers in standard 12-team leagues should have higher-floor options to choose from. Elliott finished as the No. 23 kicker in fantasy a year ago.

Tyler Loop News
Monday, July 6, 6:19 PM
Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said that the team feels good about where kicker Tyler Loop is at this offseason when he was asked about possible competition at the position, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. The Ravens currently don't have any other kickers on their roster, so the 24-year-old should head into training camp as the unquestioned starting place kicker in Baltimore after making 88.2% of his 34 field-goal attempts in 17 games as a rookie in 2025. The 24-year-old former sixth-rounder out of the University of Arizona made 44 of his 46 extra-point tries as well and went just 1-for-4 on field goals beyond 50 yards. Loop was mostly remembered for missing a kick late in the year that could have sent the Ravens to the playoffs. He was a top-10 fantasy kicker in his first year in the league and should be at least in consideration as a low-end kicking option for managers in 12-team leagues in 2026.
