Broncos Acquire Wil Lutz From Saints
1 year agoThe Denver Broncos acquired kicker Wil Lutz from the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, according to a source. Its unclear what the Broncos are sending in return to the Saints, but the move likely means that they will use Lutz as their starter to open the 2023 regular season over Brett Maher. Back in New Orleans, the trade of Lutz means that undrafted rookie Blake Grupe will open the years as the Saints' starting kicker. The 29-year-old Lutz missed all of the 2021 season due to injury and made just 74.2 percent of his 31 field-goal tries in New Orleans last year. He will reunite with head coach Sean Payton in Denver, but fantasy managers can probably find better options than Lutz for a starting kicker spot in 12-team leagues.
