Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Blake Grupe

Friday, November 21, 6:24 PM

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.

The Indianapolis Colts signed former New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe to their practice squad on Tuesday, a source told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Grupe was recently cut by the Saints, but he'll latch on with another team quickly after impressing the Colts during a workout on Tuesday. The 27-year-old will be replacing Michael Badgley, who was waived on Tuesday after missing his third extra point of the season in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. In addition to Grupe, the Colts also worked out kickers Justin Tucker and Maddux Trujillo. Grupe, 27, will be Indy's placekicker this weekend for a crucial divisional battle against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Before getting cut by the Saints, he went 18-for-26 on field goals and 15-for-15 on his extra-point tries in 11 games. Fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere for a more reliable kicking option in Week 14.
