Who Should I Start? Matt Prater or Wil Lutz

Saturday, November 29, 12:51 PM

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has been a reliable player through 11 games this season, connecting on 15 of 17 field goal attempts and 32 out of 34 extra-point tries. The 41-year-old may have limited range at this point in his career, as he's attempted just two field goals from 50-plus yards out on the season, making one and missing one. In Week 13, the Bills will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. Through 12 weeks, Pittsburgh ranks 19th in the NFL in points per game allowed (23.9). While that points to the Bills being able to move the ball on Sunday, the weather in Pittsburgh may play a factor in the kicking game. The current forecast calls for precipitation and colder weather in western Pennsylvania. Prater profiles as a borderline starting kicker option in Week 13, but fantasy managers should be mindful of potential weather issues and check the forecast before lineups lock on Sunday.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has agreed to a three-year extension with the organization on Friday. This news comes after Lutz earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Lutz went 5-for-5 on field goal attempts, including a game-winner against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. This new deal will keep Lutz in Denver through 2028. Through 11 games, Lutz has made 17-of-20 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 24 of his extra point kicks. A well-deserved extension for Lutz who has been a viable option for the Broncos over the last three seasons.
