Week 12 offered some bangers at fantasy football’s kicker position with a couple of week-changing performances. Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz was the highest scorer on the week with a 22-point performance. Unfortunately, not many were able to take advantage of that big performance, as he was rostered in just 21% of Yahoo leagues last week.

He made five field goals on his way to those 22 fantasy points, including two kicks from 50+ yards (53, 54). He accounted for just over half of the team’s total scoring in the win, as the Broncos improved to a 7-5 record.
It does appear that big kicker performances are becoming a pattern up against the Las Vegas Raiders, having allowed 10+ fantasy points to opposing PK’s in all but two games this season. Next up on their schedule are the Kansas City Chiefs, who are rolling out Spencer Shrader at kicker while Harrison Butker is out due to injury. He’s made each of his three attempts on the year with a long of 41 yards.
