Elliott

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal ties Elliott with Justin Tucker for the crown of highest-paid kicker in NFL history. Elliott went 30-of-32 on field goal tries this year, with only one of his two misses coming from inside 50 yards. He hit all but one of his 46 PATs. The veteran kicker also takes kickoffs for Philly. Despite the Eagles’ downturn in 2023, Elliott was a top-five fantasy kicker. He will rank among the league’s top fantasy options at the position heading into 2024.

The Eagles save $2.492 million against the cap with the restructuring of Elliott’s deal. The veteran kicker converted on 20-of-23 field goal attempts for the Eagles last season and has converted on 89.3% of his field goal attempts since 2021.

He’ll be Philadelphia’s kicker for Week 6’s game against the Cowboys after missing Week 5. He’s not a terrible streamer, but Dallas’ defense has been imposing enough that it’s hard to call him an easy streamer for Week 6 if he was dropped in your league.

Elliott did kick at Eagles practice per several reporters on the scene with video evidence. There’s been no mention of Elliott’s status in interviews so far. Cameron Dicker is the backup Eagles kicker and would get another go against the Cowboys if Elliott can’t go.

Elliott missed Week 5 after going down with an injury in the ankle of his kicking leg. Rookie kicker Cameron Dicker took his place in Week 5. Dickerson nailed both of his extra points and both of his field goals. If Elliott misses another week, Dickerson is a solid streaming option at kicker.

Rookie kicker Cameron Dicker will take Elliott’s place in the lineup. Dicker, a UDFA from Texas, spent time with the Rams and Ravens during the summer. He has some deep fantasy appeal as the leg for one of the league’s best offenses.

The Eagles added Cameron Dicker to their practice squad and he’ll be the Elliott replacement on Sunday. Dicker isn’t a terrible streamer in fantasy leagues given the 49.5 over/under in the game, but the undrafted kicker has no NFL experience after four years at the University of Texas.

Cameron Dicker got the practice reps and should be in line to kick on Sunday against the Cardinals if Elliott sits, which should make him a pretty popular streamer in Elliott’s stead. Elliott has not practiced on Wednesday or Thursday and will likely need at least a limited session on Friday to get on the field.

Elliott suffered a right ankle injury in the Eagles’ Week 4 win over the Jags. Eagles special teams coordinator Michael Clay was noncommittal on Elliott’s Week 5 status. The team signed former Texas kicker Cameron Dicker to their practice squad yesterday. Fantasy managers should probably move on from the kicker with a bum ankle, whether or not he is active this week.

The Eagles’ coaching staff gave praise to Elliott for his toughness and are optimistic that he’ll be ready to play in Week 5 after sustaining a foot injury. The Eagles did, however, sign Cameron Dicker to the practice squad. At the very least, they’re being cautious and preparing as if they will not have Elliott, who has been the team’s kicker for the past six seasons.
