Who Should I Start? Mason Crosby or Wil Lutz

Saturday, December 30, 9:58 PM

New York Giants kicker Mason Crosby has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Giants are having some serious problems at kicker with Graham Gano (knee) and Randy Bullock (hamstring) on the injured reserve and Cade York (quad) on the practice squad injured list. That being said, Crosby is likely to remain the team's kicker through the final two games of the regular season. He made his lone field goal attempt and both extra point chances during last week's game. He won't be a great streaming option given the offensive struggles of the Giants.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has a good opportunity for a bounce-back performance in the Week 5 divisional tilt at home in the thin air of Denver against the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to kickers per game so far in 2024. Lutz is coming off his worst performance of the year, missing his first kick of the season. He made just one field goal and one extra point in the 10-9, Week 4 upset over the New York Jets in rainy and wet conditions last weekend. Denver's offense has been among the worst in the NFL so far this year, but Lutz surprisingly ranks as the No. 10 kicker heading into Week 5, thanks to 10 successful field goals and four extra points. The floor will continue to be low for Lutz with quarterback Bo Nix running the show, but Denver's offense should be able to move the ball better this weekend against a Raiders defense that could be without All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (ankle). Lutz is in the streaming conversation at kicker.
