Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Tyler Loop

Saturday, September 13, 10:49 AM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz was perfect in Week 1, converting all four of his attempts (two field goals, two extra points) in a 20-12 win over the Tennessee Titans. Despite the clean performance, Denver's offensive struggles capped his fantasy output, as he finished just 17th among kickers for the week. Lutz now faces the Indianapolis Colts in a matchup that could be low scoring after both teams' defensive units impressed in their openers. While Lutz entered the year ranked as a top-five option on some fantasy platforms, his Week 2 outlook carries more volatility. He should be viewed as a high-risk, high-reward streamer rather than a locked-in starter.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop enjoyed a good start to his NFL career despite the missed extra point against the Buffalo Bills. With 12 fantasy points, he came in as the K7 in his first game after making a 52-yarder and a 49-yarder, along with going four-for-five in extra points. This offense should have no problem getting the ball into field goal range, especially against the divisional rival Cleveland Browns. Loop will remain in the top-ten fantasy kicker conversation unless he proves otherwise, so managers can look to deploy him in lineups again in Week 2.
