Wil Lutz Fantasy

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz struggled in the Week 18 loss to the Carolina Panthers. While going 1-for-1 on extra point attempts, Lutz went 0-for-2 on field goal attempts. The kicker's two attempts came from 44 and 55-yards out, the second miss coming with only a minute remaining in the game to potentially take a 10-7 lead. Lutz had limited field goal opportunities throughout the season, but struggled in Week 18 when given opportunities in clutch moments. Lutz remains under contract with New Orleans for 2023 and will likely return as the Saints' kicker to open the season.

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made his first field goal of over 50 yards since Week 5 in last week's victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. In Week 18, the Saints take on the divisional-rival Carolina Panthers in a game that does not hold any playoff implications. The Panthers rank 11th in points surrendered to kickers. Lutz has been a weak fantasy option all season long due to the Saints' offensive struggles, and that likely will not change in Week 18. Look elsewhere for a streaming kicker this week, but consider adding Lutz in dynasty leagues, as he has four top-five finishes at the position in his career.

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz strung together another perfect kicking day, converting both field goal attempts and both extra point attempts. Lutz attempted his first field goal of 40+ yards since Week 11, drilling a 54-yarder in the 20-10 win over Philadelphia. His other field goal was a 20-yard chip shot. Lutz and the Saints will play the Carolina Panthers in a Week 18 NFC South matchup.
