The Top Kickers To Start in Week 15
Blake Grupe, New Orleans Saints (vs. NYG)
Analysis by Jason Katz | Two weeks ago, Blake Grupe drilled five of six field-goal attempts, scoring 20.7 fantasy points. Since then, he’s posted 4.0 points in back-to-back games.
This week, the New Orleans Saints are home against the New York Giants. While they have been a “bad matchup” for kickers, I don’t really believe in kicker fantasy points allowed.

We’re looking for kickers on teams with good-not-great offenses that are favored and playing in good weather.
The Saints’ offense is good, but it’s not great. They struggle a ton in the red zone, leading to more field-goal opportunities. They are favored at home this week against the Giants, playing in a dome. It’s a great spot for Grupe to bounce back.
Younghoe Koo, Atlanta Falcons (at CAR)
Analysis by Kyle Soppe | Did Younghoe Koo let you down by missing a pair of long field goals in Week 14? He did, but don’t let that impact your decision-making. Last week was Koo’s sixth game 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 and with the Atlanta Falcons finally using their pedigree talent like pedigree talent, you can feel good about locking Koo into your lineup.
