Blake Grupe Fantasy

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe injured his groin during practice on Tuesday and is now listed as questionable for a Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The injury is being called minor and Grupe still has a chance to play Sunday according to reports, but the Saints still worked out several kickers on Tuesday. That list includes Mason Crosby and James McCourt. New Orleans also signed veteran kicker Austin Seibert to their practice squad. Grupe's ability to get back on the practice field by Friday will be a good indication of his status heading into Week 13. Fantasy gamers rostering Grupe will want to begin thinking about having a backup plan in place in case he doesn't kick on Sunday.

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe did not attempt an extra point and kicked only one field goal in Week 10 against Minnesota, good for his weakest fantasy output of the season. With New Orleans on bye in Week 11, Grupe was likely dropped in many leagues. Atlanta quietly allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, offering Grupe a prime position to bounce back. If in need of a kicker, Grupe is a more than viable option in a pivotal Week 12 matchup.

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe had a solid performance in Week 9, nailing 3-of-3 extra points but missing one of two field goal attempts. Grupe missed a 47-yard attempt, marking his fifth missed field goal of the season. The rookie has been a safe kicker option in fantasy, ranked ninth on the season, and should continue to be a safe play in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. Fire Grupe up into lineups this week.
