Jake Elliott Is A Viable Option For Week 2
6 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott was not very busy in Week 1. That could change with a succulent matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. New Orleans put up 40 points and 475 yards of total offense against Tampa Bay last week. Saints kicker Will Lutz, who is excellent, tallied six of those points as he made all four of his kicks -- three extra points and one field goal. On the other hand, the Eagles offense managed just 232 total yards and 18 points in their season opener. Elliott was perfect on both of his kick attempts, including a 26-yard field goal, to finish with four points. The second-year pro has made 27 of 32 field goal attempts for his career, although he also missed three extra-point tries last season. With Philadelphia expected to put up at least 24 points against Tampa Bay, Elliott is a top-eight play.
