Who Should I Start? Jake Elliott or Will Reichard

Friday, November 7, 10:53 PM

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has now missed field goal attempts in back-to-back games, going one-for-two in Week 8 against the New York Giants. At first, the problem with Elliott was his lack of kicking opportunities despite his consistent accuracy. Now, the problem is both his opportunities and his accuracy. While he did hit five extra points to pick up the slack, managers can't depend on Philly scoring five touchdowns every week. Elliott is best left off of rosters heading into his Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers.

Kicker Will Reichard should be considered an average fantasy option when his Minnesota Vikings play host to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. Baltimore ranks 24th against fantasy kickers on the season, but has seen its defense come to life in the past month. The Ravens have held their past three opponents to an average of 13 points, and they enter the game with a few days of added rest after playing the Thursday night game in Week 9. Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy performed admirably in a big win at Detroit, but he's started only three times in his career, and some bumps in the road should be expected. Reichard has been excellent overall, however, making 16-of-18 field goal attempts, but a tough-to-predict Vikings offense makes him a middling fantasy option.
