The Athletic's Nick Kosmider writes that it's probably a no-brainer decision for the Denver Broncos to bring back veteran kicker Wil Lutz in 2025 despite the fact that he has no guaranteed money left on his current deal. If the Broncos wanted to, they could cut Lutz this offseason for a savings of at least $3 million with limited dead money left behind. Lutz is scheduled to make $3.89 million in 2025, but after being one of the most accurate and trustworthy kickers in the NFL this past season, it would be a surprise if the Broncos cut him. Not only does head coach Sean Payton have plenty of trust and history with Lutz, but Lutz also kicked for the New Orleans Saints under Darren Rizzi, who is likely to become Denver's next special teams coordinator. The 30-year-old finished as the No. 7 kicker in overall fantasy points by making 31 of his 34 field goal-attempts and all 46 of his extra points in 17 regular-season games.

Atlanta Falcons placekicker Younghoe Koo converted two of his three field goal attempts in Friday's 31-13 preseason loss to the Cowboys, making from 28 and 38 yards away while missing from 51 yards out. The 31-year-old also converted his lone extra point attempt. After Lenny Krieg handled kicking duties in the team's first preseason game, Koo has taken over in the last two and appears to be in line to be named the Falcons' starter for Week 1 of the 2025 season. The eighth-year pro had a down year in 2024, but also battled through a hip injury that ultimately cut his season short. Now fully healthy, fantasy managers should have confidence in him, however, there are higher upside options available in 12-team leagues.
