Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Greg Joseph

Saturday, October 4, 9:31 AM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has solidified himself as a reliable kicker when called upon and will look to keep things going against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Unfortunately, this season, he hasn't had many opportunities to do much with an average of just 1.25 field goal attempts through four games. In Week 4, he only accounted for four extra points and wasn't asked to attempt a single field goal in the blowout versus the Bengals. The Eagles' defense could stall the Broncos' defense more often this week than the Bengals did in Week 4, potentially giving Lutz more field goal opportunities in a defensive matchup. It's still likely best to pivot elsewhere for kicker points in Week 5.

San Francisco 49ers kickers Jake Moody and Greg Joseph appear to be in a legitimate competition for the starting gig this fall. The two kickers are off to a strong start as they combined to go 8-for-8 on kicks during Wednesday's practice. They also both managed to knock down kicks from around 55 yards. Moody was selected 99th overall by the 49ers in 2023, but experienced a sophomore slump last season. He missed 10 field goal attempts and one extra point, which prompted the 49ers to bring in some competition. Joseph is a veteran kicker who has been around the league quite a bit. Last season, he knocked down 16-of-20 field goal attempts in eight games between three teams. Whoever wins this job should be worth rostering in fantasy leagues because it'll probably be a high-volume job.
