Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Jake Elliott

Wednesday, November 5, 7:39 PM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after being limited with an illness earlier in the week. The 31-year-old is good to go and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. He will look to right the ship in Week 10 after missing his first field goal of the season in Week 9. He dealt with an illness during the week and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Raiders on Thursday night. To be fair, the Houston Texans blocked the field goal attempt, which was from 51 yards out. The Raiders average 26.3 points allowed per game, which enabled Lutz more opportunities than he had in Week 9 to put points up on the board. In what could be a close game due to the division rivalry, managers should count on Lutz to bounce back as RotoBaller has him ranked at 11 overall for the week.

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.
