Top Kickers To Start in Week 15
Blake Grupe, New Orleans Saints (vs. NYG)
Kicker production is difficult to project, but getting access to a player who is on a team favored to win and playing indoors is a good place to start.
Blake Grupe has five double-digit fantasy point performances this season, and four have come indoors. He gets the advantage of playing a poor New York Giants defense that is on a short week — I’m happy to go that direction in this critical week!
Younghoe Koo, Atlanta Falcons (at CAR)
Did Younghoe Koo let you down by missing a pair of long field goals? He did, but don’t let that impact your decision-making. Last week was Koo’s sixth effort with at least three field goal attempts, and with four 12+ fantasy point games on his 2023 resume, the upside remains strong against a bottom-five scoring defense.
Every kicker comes with a degree of risk, but in this spot with the Atlanta Falcons finally using their pedigree talent like pedigree talent, you can feel good about locking Koo into your lineup.
