New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe was on fire in Week 1's win over Carolina. The second-year kicker drilled all five extra point attempts, along with all four field goal attempts. Two of his field goals came from 50+ yards out, showcasing improvement from last year. Grupe is a tougher start this week against the Dallas Cowboys, who gave up just 17 points last week to Cleveland. Despite his strong Week 1 performance, look elsewhere for a kicker in Week 2.
New Orleans Saints' second-year kicker Blake Grupe is an option at the kicker position heading into Week 1's tout with the Carolina Panthers. Grupe had a solid rookie season, converting 30-of-37 field goal attempts with a long of 55 yards. The Notre Dame product finished the season strong and will look to carry over his late-season success into Week 1. Carolina allowed the fourteenth-most points to kickers a season ago, making it a solid matchup for Grupe.
New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe put together a strong fantasy output in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, converting 2-of-2 extra points and 3-of-3 field goals. Prior to the win, Grupe had only attempted two field goals in four weeks. In a game that is projected to be a lower-scoring game, Grupe should be passed on for other kickers in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons. While the rookie has been perfect on extra points, he has only converted 80% of his field goal attempts this season.
