BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: K1
ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott went 30-for-32 on field goal attempts last season and a near-perfect 45-for-46 on extra points en route to finishing as the No.6 kicker in PPR scoring last season.
Last fall he continued a common trend where he was excellent from long ranges going 7-for-8 from over 50 yards. Over the past three seasons, he has missed just two attempts from this range.

He will once again play on a strong offense that now welcomes star running back Saquon Barkley. With elite playmakers at wide receiver, Jalen Hurts should always have a good opportunity to move the ball downfield to set up Elliot on several attempts each game.
In the season opener, the 29-year-old will face the Green Bay Packers in Sao Paulo Brazil. This match is currently set at a high 49.5 O/U point spread. This suggests that both offenses should put a lot of points on the board and as a result, create several opportunities for their kickers.
Fantasy managers should feel confident placing Elliot in their lineups this evening.
