Wil Lutz Performs Perfectly in Week 17 Win

Friday, December 26, 3:19 PM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz put up another reliable performance in the 20-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lutz went two for two on his field goal attempts and also converted both of his PAT attempts, scoring six points in total on the day. After seeing Lutz miss one short field goal attempt in Week 16 and having zero field goal attempts in Week 15, it was relieving to see him convert his opportunities for a perfect day. The Broncos will be looking to secure the number one seed in the AFC with a win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18, and Lutz will likely be a key part in earning that.

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.
