Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Matt Gay

Saturday, November 7, 7:01 AM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has converted nine of his last 10 field-goal attempts. He hit from 39 and 45 yards against Kansas City in Week 8 and made all 3 of his tries at Arizona the week before. He also went 5-for-5 on extra points across those two games, as the Broncos scored 28 and 30 points. Lutz is a reasonable streamer for Sunday's trip to Carolina, where the Panthers are allowing 27.6 points per game. RotoBaller ranks him K12 for Week 9. Opponents have attempted only 11 field goals against Carolina in seven games, converting 10. Green Bay scored four touchdowns against the Panthers last week without attempting a field goal, so the favorable scoring matchup can still turn into a day with mostly extra points. Lutz is 14-for-17 on field goals this season and has been perfect on 7 attempts inside 40 yards. He has also made 2 of 3 attempts from 50 or longer, including a 53-yarder, which gives him added appeal in leagues with distance bonuses.
