Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Jake Elliott

Saturday, November 23, 5:15 PM

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk is worth considering as a low-end fantasy streamer in Week 12 against the Houston Texans. Although the Titans haven't given Folk a whole lot of scoring opportunities this year, he has made the most of his chances, going 14-for-15 on field goals and 18-for-18 on extra points. Despite his accuracy, he ranks 23rd among kickers in fantasy points, largely due to the Titans' aforementioned struggles on offense this season. To further complicate matters, the Texans have been somewhat stingy on special teams, holding opposing kickers to the 14th-fewest fantasy points. With that said, Houston has surrendered 0.6 field goals of at least 50 yards per game, which is the fourth-most in the NFL. Therefore, despite his tougher matchup, Folk could put himself on the fantasy radar with his accuracy and powerful leg. He's a fringe top-12 option heading into Sunday's divisional battle.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The veteran has had a rough season for fantasy purposes. After being passed up multiple times this season on fourth down in favor of going for it, the team finally decided to try and take the points often last week against Washington. Elliott proceeded to miss two of four field goals and also missed one of his three extra-point attempts. Playing in Los Angeles is favorable for him, but it will be interesting to see what direction head coach Nick Sirianni will go when in field goal range on fourth down after last week's poor performance. Even with six teams on bye, Elliott remains tough to trust in Week 12.
