It’s not too often a kicker scores 10 points in a game and only has one field goal. But when you have a running back score six times, you can rack up the extra points. That’s what Lutz did in Week 16, kicking seven extra points and a field goal for his first double-digit game since Week 8.
Pretty surprisingly, Lutz has not made a field goal in the last three weeks, going 0/3 in the process. He has kicked three extra points in each of those games and is now 47/47 in XPs, but fantasy owners will obviously want more in the fantasy finals.
Lutz had a bit of an off day in Week 14, missing two field goals. He's now 20/25 on field goals but still a perfect 44/44 on extra points. He should get plenty of chances to score in what should be an exciting game in New Orleans on Sunday.
Lutz missed his third field goal of the season last week against the Falcons, but he still has a solid 20/23 mark on the year and is 41/41 on extra points. The Saints offense hasn't been as explosive with Taysom Hill at quarterback, but it's been good enough to keep Lutz relevant in fantasy, ranking No. 7 this week.
Lutz hasn't had to do much recently in terms of field goals, but he did post another 4/4 day on extra points against the Broncos. He's not as high of an option as he usually is with the Saints' offense not as explosive as it is with Drew Brees under center.
Lutz missed only his second field goal of the season last week against the Falcons but still came away with six total points thanks to three extra points, of which he is still perfect (34/34). The offense is still rolling well, so Lutz will always have plenty of chances at points. He's among our top five kickers this week.
Another day, another fine performance from Lutz, who still only has the one missed field goal from Week 8 as his only blemish of the season. Even with the change at QB, there's really not a reason to move away from Lutz at this point.
