Wil Lutz Knocks Down Four Kicks

Sunday, December 29, 9:47 AM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has been on a hot streak over the last few weeks. On Saturday, Lutz knocked down all three of his extra point attempts and his lone field goal in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Lutz has now made all of his kicks over the last six games, which is an impressive streak for the 30-year-old. He'll look to keep it going in a must-win game for Denver against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. Lutz has been one of the better kickers this season and is worth starting in most fantasy formats for the final game of the regular season.

Charlie Smyth Dealing With Minor Injury

Sunday, August 25, 6:35 PM

New Orleans Saints kicker Charlie Smyth (groin) didn't suit up during Sunday's preseason contest against the Tennessee Titans. The rookie kicker has been dealing with an ongoing groin issue since Friday. Head coach Dennis Allen said that the team wanted to play it safe and hold Smyth out of this game. In his absence, Blake Grupe handled the kicking duties during the preseason finale. He connected on both his field goal attempts and made all three of his extra point attempts as well. It remains to be seen which kicker the team decides to ride with into the regular season. Grupe is probably the favorite after making 30-of-37 field goal attempts and all 40 extra point attempts during his rookie season with the Saints in 2023.
