Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Tyler Bass

Saturday, November 23, 10:53 AM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz is as close to a must-start in fantasy this weekend as he'll be all year as he takes on the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. The Broncos' offense is peaking right under rookie quarterback Bo Nix after putting up a season-high 38 points in the Week 11 win over the Atlanta Falcons, and the Raiders have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers. Back in the Week 5 win over Vegas, Lutz converted on both of his field-goal attempts (one from 50-plus yards) and made all four of his extra points. The 30-year-old veteran has missed only three of his 22 field-goal attempts this year, with one being blocked and another coming from over 60 yards out. Lutz's 81 fantasy points on the year rank him as the No. 9 fantasy kicker, and his 22 field-goal attempts are tied for eighth. Lutz is easily a top-10 fantasy kicker heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is 9-for-9 on field goals and 12-for-13 on extra points since Week 6. His resurgence came at a time when his job appeared to be in jeopardy. For fantasy football, he's scored the second-most points at the position in that timeframe. Overall, he's 30-for-33 on extra points and 18-for-21 on field goals. With his confidence back, Bass ranks as a top-12 kicker against the Chiefs. The Bills offense is missing key pieces in Keon Coleman (wrist) and Dalton Kincaid (knee) which could lead to more field goal opportunities.
