Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Will Reichard

Saturday, September 13, 12:58 AM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott impressed in his season debut, going perfect for the game by making his sole field goal attempt of 58 yards and all three of his extra points. In Week 2 Elliott will travel to Kansas City for a matchup against the Chiefs, who allowed 27 points to the Chargers last week in a loss. The Chiefs gave up five scores on seven drives-excluding the final time Los Angeles had the ball when they ran the clock out. Facing a weak defense and having long range, Elliott should remain in fantasy lineups this week.

Kicker Will Reichard of the Minnesota Vikings faces a middle-of-the-road matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. The second-year kicker had a strong opening week in which he converted two field goal attempts at Chicago, including a key 59-yarder that helped Minnesota get something out of a poor first half offensively. Now back in the friendlier confines of indoor U.S. Bank Stadium, Reichard and the Vikings will take on a Falcons defense that held Tampa Bay to 260 yards of total offense in Week 1. Reichard has been solid when healthy, but the Vikings' offense is likely to be hot-and-cold as they break in a first-time starting quarterback this season.
