New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe went 2-for-3 on field goals and 1-for-1 on extra points in the Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. His only miss came in the third quarter on a 37-yard attempt following a 14-play drive, while he converted from 36 and 28 yards. Grupe is a reliable kicker, but the Saints' offense, led by quarterback Spencer Rattler, may struggle to move the ball consistently. He ranks 21st among kickers on RotoBaller this week.

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates held up his end of the bargain in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, nailing both of his field goal attempts and an extra-point try in his team's 27-13 loss. Bates will not have to worry about any potential weather issues in Week 2, as the Lions return home to the domed Ford Field to take on the Chicago Bears. Bates has more career points scored (21) against Chicago than any other NFL team. The Lions should also have an easier time moving the football and generating scoring opportunities against the Bears than they did against the Packers. Bates profiles as a low-end top-12 fantasy kicker in Week 2 against Chicago.
