Misses three kicks Thursday Elliott went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-3 on extra-point tries in Thursday's 26-18 win over the Commanders.
Impact Both of Elliott's field-goal misses came in the first half, as he missed from 44 and 51 yards early in the first and second quarter, respectively. He managed to get back on track with successful attempts from 21 and 31 yards, but he ended up missing his first extra-point attempt of the season early in the fourth quarter. In the six regular-season games since the Eagles' Week 5 bye, Elliott has gone 10-for-14 on field-goal attempts and 17-for-18 on extra-point tries. He'll look to get back on track in Week 12 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Perfect in blowout win Elliott converted on both of his two field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 34-6 win at Dallas.
Impact Elliott's longest field-goal attempt in Week 10 came from 39 yards out early in the fourth quarter to put the Eagles up 31-6. He's been automatic on short kicks this season and gets plenty of chances with one of the league's top offensive units, so he projects as a solid fantasy play when Philadelphia hosts the Commanders in Week 11.

Third miss this season Elliott made his lone extra-point in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars but missed one of his two field-goal attempts.
Impact Elliott was good from 43 yards in the second quarter but hit the right upright from 57 yards with 2:16 remaining in the game. The Eagles went for two after three of their four touchdowns, denying Elliott the chance at a big fantasy day despite putting up plenty of points. Elliott has now missed three of his 13 field goal attempts this season after missing just two of 32 last year, but all of his misses have been from beyond 50 yards.
