Wil Lutz Fantasy

The New Orleans Saints restructured kicker Wil Lutz's contract on Thursday to create $1.74 million in salary cap space, according to a source. New Orleans continues to maneuver around the lowered 2021 salary cap, but they still have plenty of work left to do as the new league year approaches on March 17. The 26-year-old kicker made 23 of his 28 field-goal tries in 2020 and also was successful on 57 of his 58 extra points last season. The Saints offense should be pretty solid under either Taysom Hill or Jameis Winston in 2021, which should at least make Lutz a low-end fantasy kicking option. Lutz finished as the No. 9 fantasy kicker in most leagues in 2020.

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a solid fantasy option in Sunday's Divisional Round battle against the Buccaneers. Lutz missed a field goal from beyond 50 yards in last week's wild-card game, but he has overall been consistent throughout the 2020 season. The kicker finished the regular season by going 23-for-28 in field goals and 57-for-58 in extra points. Though the Bucs are tough against fantasy kickers, Lutz is still a reliable fantasy option in a strong Saints offense that has both quarterback Drew Brees and No. 1 wide receiver Michael Thomas back healthy. The game will also be the only contest of the Divisional Round that is indoors.

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz faces the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. Lutz is coming off nailing all seven extra-points against the Vikings last week and has a stretch of eight games with at least three point-after attempts made. New Orleans will be playing this game like a must-win with a chance for the one-seed, giving Lutz more opportunities to make kicks. He should be utilized as a top-12 option this week with the upside to finish in the top-five.
