Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Will Reichard

Monday, September 16, 12:54 AM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz was the team's offense in a 13-6 loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers in Denver on Sunday. Lutz finished as a top-10 fantasy kicker in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks after going 3-for-3 on his field goals while making his only extra-point try. The 30-year-old veteran was only called on twice for field goals this Sunday, connecting on a long of 35. The Bo Nix-led Denver offense was stuck in the mud all day for the second straight week, and the only time they entered the red zone, Nix threw an ugly interception in the back of the end zone. Lutz has been one of the more reliable kickers over the years in terms of field-goal percentage, but he's going to be off the fantasy radar in most leagues on a weekly basis if the Broncos offense continues to look as bad as it has in Nix's first two career starts. Ignore him for a Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard went 3-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points during Sunday's Week 2 win over the San Francisco 49ers. His successful field goals came from 22, 27, and 39 yards out. The rookie out of Alabama hadn't previously attempted an NFL field goal, but that didn't seem to slow him down as he cruised to double-digit fantasy points on Sunday afternoon. As long as the Vikings continue to play well, Reichard will have some streaming appeal in fantasy leagues with 14 teams or more.
