Lutz had a good first season with the Broncos, making 88.2 percent of his field-goal attempts. He scored 119 points. Lutz has 125-plus points five of seven seasons. The Broncos offense even struggled at times, which impacted the chances for Lutz. He is likely in a similar situation this season for Denver. The offense still has question marks for the coming year. Lutz makes 85.2 percent of his field goals for his career. Lutz has a very strong leg and is an accurate kicker. He can do well win long-distance kicks, playing in the thin air in Colorado.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Lutz could get a few more points this year but don't expect a big jump. He is likely a spot starter for fantasy teams. He can get around 120 points in this offense.

Despite a previous report saying that he was signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday, kicker Wil Lutz re-signed with the Denver Broncos on an undisclosed two-year deal, according to his agent, John Perla. Lutz will continue to kick for head coach Sean Payton, although moving to Jacksonville would have likely been much more lucrative for his 2024 fantasy value. The Broncos are in rebuilding mode and have moved on from quarterback Russell Wilson, which means their offense could struggle to get into field-goal range more often under Jarrett Stidham or another signal-caller. Lutz finished as the No. 18 fantasy kicker in 2023 by making 30 of his 34 field-goal tries and 29 of his 31 extra points. With Wilson now gone and an offense in flux, Lutz's fantasy ceiling and floor are likely going to be lower in his second year with the team.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has had his moments in his first year with the Broncos as a stream-worthy kicker in fantasy lineups, but the Week 18 regular season finale on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders won't be one of them. Lutz has made 88.2 percent of his field goals (30-for-34) this year and has missed two of his 29 extra-point attempts. He also made three of four field-goal opportunities in last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers in quarterback Jarrett Stidham's first start. The Broncos will face a stiffer defensive matchup in the Raiders this weekend, and Vegas has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game (4.8) to opposing kickers in the last five weeks. Fantasy managers shouldn't want to trust a kicker in lineups in a meaningless game in an offense run by Stidham.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz disappointed fantasy managers that started him in the Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots in a game in which he made just one extra point and missed his lone field-goal try. Lutz wasn't fantasy relevant at all early in the year but then had a strong stretch from Weeks 7-11 where he made 14 of 15 field-goal attempts and was successful on four of his five point-after tries to vault him into fantasy relevance. The 29-year-old has cooled off in four games since, though, attempting just four field goals and eight extra points. Despite the Broncos moving to quarterback Jarrett Stidham as their starter for the final two weeks of the regular season, Lutz will have some bounce-back appeal as a low-end starting kicker in fantasy in Week 17 against a Los Angeles Chargers defense that's allowing 24.6 points per game this year.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has a lot of things working in his favor for a Saturday night primetime matchup against the hosting Detroit Lions. For one, Lutz will be kicking indoors and won't have to deal with the elements. The Lions defense has also been a top-10 matchup for opposing kickers in the last five weeks, and their defense overall has allowed 24.2 points per game in 2023. Lutz has cooled off a bit of late since a strong four-game run that saw him make 14 of 15 field-goal attempts from Weeks 7-11 (bye in Week 9). But the 29-year-old booter now ranks seventh overall in total fantasy points at his position and has made 92.9 percent of his 28 field-goal attempts (just two misses) in his first year in Denver. Lutz makes for a solid kicker streamer for Week 15 action.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has quietly been a top-10 fantasy kicker through the first 13 weeks of the 2023 season. Most of his production came during Denver's five-game winning streak, but it has come after a slow start in his first year in Denver. After seeing at least four field-goal attempts in three of four games from Weeks 7-11 (a bye in Week 9), Lutz has cooled off the last two games and has only three field-goal tries while making all five of his extra points. The Los Angeles Chargers, Lutz's Week 14 opponent, haven't been the best of matchups for opposing kickers this year, but he's still on the streaming radar in fantasy because of the fact that he's missed only four kicks total this year -- 25-for-27 on field goals and 20-for-22 on point-after tries. The 29-year-old will also be kicking indoors this weekend, making him slightly more attractive.
