Jake Elliott will need to be at his best against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, but recent struggles raise concerns. Elliott finished the regular season with a solid 28-for-36 mark on field goals and nearly perfect extra-point accuracy (47-for-48). However, his issues from long range were evident, going just 1-for-7 on attempts from 50-plus yards. His postseason performance has been mixed, making six of seven field goals but missing three extra points -- an uncharacteristic trend that could be costly in a close game. Given how tight Super Bowl matchups can be, every point matters. If the game comes down to a clutch kick, the Eagles will need Elliott to shake off his recent inconsistencies.

Jake Elliott prepares for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders with mixed results this postseason. Elliott has been perfect on field goals in the playoffs, going six for six, but has struggled with extra points, making just two of five attempts. Elliott's regular-season performance was below his usual standard, with a field goal percentage of 77.8%, including a concerning one of seven from 50+ yards. While he has drilled the most critical kicks when it mattered most, his extra-point struggles could loom large in what's expected to be a tightly contested game. As the Eagles aim for a Super Bowl berth, Elliott's ability to deliver under the brightest lights will be crucial for Philadelphia's success.

Jake Elliott had a mixed outing in the 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. He converted just one of three extra-point attempts, with the snowy conditions playing a significant role in the second attempt. However, Elliott remained reliable on field goals, going three-for-three this game and extending his streak to 10 makes in his last 11 attempts. While Elliott's missed extra points have raised some concerns—this marks the second consecutive game with a miss—his consistency on field goals has been crucial for the Eagles during their playoff push. As the Eagles prepare to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship, Elliott's ability to deliver under pressure will be vital in what could be another tightly contested playoff matchup.

Jake Elliott wrapped up the regular season with a mixed performance, converting two of three field-goal attempts and nailing both extra points in the Week 18 victory over the Giants. Elliott's lone miss was from 39 yards, marking his first misstep inside 50 yards all season. As the Eagles prepare for the playoffs, Elliott's fantasy relevance will remain tied to the effectiveness of Philadelphia's high-powered offense. The more opportunities the offense creates, the greater Elliott's potential for meaningful production. With the Eagles boasting one of the league's most potent attacks, Elliott could find himself in key scoring situations against the Packers in the Wild Card round. Count on him as a reliable option if Philadelphia's offense is clicking.
