Jake Elliott Hopes to Remain Perfect in Monday Night Matchup with Bears
It has not been a particularly busy couple of weeks for Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott to begin the 2026 season, but he is yet to miss a kick. He's made both of his field goal attempts - one in each game - and has made all six of his extra point attempts thus far. The biggest positive for Elliott so far this season is that he made a 58-yard field goal against the Tennessee Titans last week. Kicking from distance has been a struggle for Elliott, as he made just four out of his eight attempts from 50 yards or more in 2025 and connected on just one of his seven tries from 50-plus yards in 2024 (5-for-15, 33.3%, over that two-year span). The Eagles haven't needed to rely on Elliott much in 2026, but it is early. He checks in as RotoBaller's No. 16 kicker for a Week 3 matchup with the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. According to RotoBaller, Elliott has a matchup rating of 92.0 and is projected to score 7.5 points this week. Elliott is currently rostered in just 8% of Yahoo leagues, so he is likely available for those looking for a streaming option. However, his volume is a bit too low to make an impact right now. Fantasy managers could do worse than Elliott, but there are likely better options available at kicker.

Jake Elliott Made All of His Kicks in Week 1, Faces Titans in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott saw limited action in a Week 1 win over the Washington Commanders. Still, he did make his sole field goal attempt from 35 yards out and all three of his extra point attempts to open the 2026 season. All in all, Elliott produced six fantasy points in standard scoring settings in Week 1. He faces the Tennessee Titans in Nashville in Week 2 and could see more opportunities. Last week, the Titans allowed New York Jets kicker Jason Sanders to put 11 points on the board, with three field goals (including a 52-yarder) and two extra points. Sanders scored 15 fantasy points in Week 1. Elliott looks to bounce back from a down 2025 season in which he made 20 out of 27 field goals (74.1%) and went 7-for-10 from 40 yards or more and just 4-for-8 from 50 yards or more. Elliott is on the right track with his Week 1 performance, but he did not get a chance to test his range from deep, which was the issue for him last season. Elliott enters the matchup with the Titans as RotoBaller's No. 16 kicker for Week 2. He is projected to score 7.8 points. Elliott is a streaming option in deep leagues for Week 2, but not a priority addition to your lineup.

Jake Elliott Remains Starting Kicker for Eagles in 2026, Looking to Bounce Back in Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott enters his 10th season in the NFL (all with the Eagles) in 2026. He will once again handle placekicking duties as the Eagles' starting kicker. Elliott has a Week 1 matchup with the Washington Commanders. According to The Football Database, the Commanders allowed 145 points to kickers in standard leagues in 2025, which ranked just 20th in the NFL. Elliott ranks as RotoBaller's 16th kicker in Week 1 and gives him a matchup rating of 94.5, while projecting him to score 7.7 fantasy points. The 31-year-old had a somewhat shaky 2025 season. He made 20 out of 27 field goals (74.1%), including 7-for-10 from 40 yards or more and 4-for-8 from 50 yards or more. He made 41 out of his 42 extra point attempts. Elliott is currently rostered in just 8% of Yahoo leagues. While Elliott seemingly has a somewhat favorable matchup for Week 1, there are better options at kicker available.

Jake Elliott Expected to Open the Season as Eagles Kicker
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott doesn't currently have any competition as he enters training camp this summer, leading Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice to assume that he'll open the 2026 season as the team's placekicker again. The 31-year-old veteran and former fifth-rounder by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017 out of the University of Memphis made just 74.1% of his 27 field-goal attempts (4-for-8 from 50-plus yards) in 17 regular-season games in 2025 in his ninth year with the Eagles, and it didn't help matters that the offense had a hard time starting and sustaining drives. It was Elliott's second straight season and third overall in his career with a field-goal percentage under 80%. The Eagles are hoping to turn things around on offense and have the weapons to do so in 2026, but fantasy managers in standard 12-team leagues should have higher-floor options to choose from. Elliott finished as the No. 23 kicker in fantasy a year ago.
