Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Tyler Bass

Friday, October 18, 12:55 AM

The Denver Broncos had their way with the hosting New Orleans Saints in Week 7 on Thursday night in a 33-10 win, which benefitted kicker Wil Lutz and any fantasy managers that streamed him in a plus matchup. Lutz made all four of his field-goal attempts (long of 52 yards) and all three of his extra-point attempts in what amounted to his best game of the 2024 season. It was a nice bounce-back performance after he made just one field goal and one extra point in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. The 30-year-old kicker has been money for the Broncos in seven games this year, missing just one of his 18 field-goal attempts while going 12-for-12 on extra points. In an offense that is improving slowly under rookie quarterback Bo Nix, Lutz will once again be on the streaming radar in a plus Week 8 tilt against the Carolina Panthers.

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is 9-for-12 on field goals and 18-for-20 on extra points this season. His struggles were on full display during Monday Night Football when he missed a field goal and an extra point. The Bills signed Lucas Havrisik to their practice squad, intending to create competition for Bass. If he continues to whiff on his attempts, he may not be kicking for Buffalo next week. For fantasy football purposes, there are no concerns with the matchup against Tennessee, but fantasy managers may opt to start a more reliable kicker in Week 7.
