Wil Lutz Starting Slow With 49ers Game Upcoming

Saturday, October 3, 4:35 AM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has started slow over the first three weeks of the 2026 season, converting three of just four field goal attempts on the year. Lutz finished a Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams 0-for-1 with a miss from 43 yards. His long field goal this year was from 45 yards, which came in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while he also made a kick from 31 yards in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lutz is a perfect 5-for-5 on his point-after attempts. He is RotoBaller's 28th-ranked kicker in Week 4 and is projected to score eight fantasy points against the 49ers.

Blake Grupe Still Competing for Week 1 Kicking Job

Thursday, September 10, 8:00 AM

New York Jets kicker Blake Grupe still hasn't secured the job for Sunday's opener against Tennessee. Special teams coordinator Chris Banjo said Thursday that Grupe and Jason Sanders remain in competition, according to Zack Rosenblatt. Banjo said he is looking for "confidence and consistency" before making the call. Grupe is currently on the active roster after the Jets claimed him off waivers from Indianapolis on Aug. 31, while Sanders is on the practice squad. Grupe made all 11 of his field-goal attempts over five games with the Colts last season, including a 60-yarder, after going 18-for-26 earlier in the year with New Orleans. Sanders missed all of 2025 with a hip injury but has considerably more NFL experience. For now, fantasy managers looking for a Week 1 kicker should wait for the Jets to actually name one.
