Jake Elliott on a Fantasy Cold Streak

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.

Will Reichard In Limbo Alongside Beat-Up Vikings Offense

Friday, October 3, 4:02 PM

Kicker Will Reichard is a fantasy risk in Week 5 while attached to a Minnesota Vikings offense hounded by injuries and facing the Cleveland Browns, who have one of the better defensive fronts in football. The Alabama product has been outstanding this season, going 8-for-8 in both field goals and extra points, but the Vikings are down to their third-string center, missing starting left guard Donovan Jackson (wrist), starting right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee), running back Aaron Jones (hamstring), and quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle). This week, they'll face a Cleveland run defense that allows fewer yards per rush than anyone in the league, which could severely limit Reichard's chances. Managers should look for another option.
