Wil Lutz

Don’t start Lutz — Denver hasn’t given him many kicking chances, he just missed a long one, and the Chargers usually keep kickers quiet. Only think about him if the game turns into a high-scoring affair.

Start Lutz — most analysts like him and he made several kicks in Week 1. If the matchup looks like a low‑scoring defensive game, bench him and check pregame reports.

He should get a few kick chances because the Saints will likely move the ball but stall inside scoring range, so play him this week. Double-check late injury reports and the weather — if he’s questionable or the game looks stormy, pick a safer kicker.

Pick him in the final rounds or grab him as a cheap pick. He's very accurate and Denver's altitude helps with long kicks, but kickers can be unreliable late in cold weather and experts don't all agree.
