2024 Fantasy Outlook
Grupe is small even by kicker standards, listed at 5-7, 156. That didn't stop him from catching on with the Saints as an undrafted rookie last year, nor did it stop him from making six of nine kicks from 50-plus yards. He also made each of his 40 PATs, though shorter field goals were a problem area with Grupe missing two of 12 tries inside 30 yards. He tied for eighth among kickers in fantasy scoring and figures to remain the Saints' starter in 2024, with potential benefits including home games played in a dome and a head coach (Dennis Allen) who routinely ranks among the least aggressive in going for it on fourth down.

Hits two FGs in Week 15
Grupe converted 2 of 2 field-goal attempts and was 1 for 1 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-19 defeat against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Grupe bounced back after going 0 for 2 on field-goal tries last week. The second-year kicker knocked through field goals on back-to-back drives in the fourth quarter, first hitting from 41 yards out before hitting again from 51 yards. Grupe has now converted 22 of 26 field-goal tries this season, and he's gone 14-for-16 on attempts of 40-plus yards. The Saints will next play versus the Packers on Monday, Dec. 23.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Grupe was a longshot to make the roster when he signed with the Saints as an undrafted rookie free agent this spring, but he impressed the team throughout training camp and they ended up trading Wil Lutz to the Broncos. That leaves Grupe as the Saints' kicker entering Week 1, benefiting from home games played in a dome as well as a favorable NFC South schedule.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Close competition in kicker battle
Grupe remains in the midst of a tight battle for the Saints' kicker role with Charlie Smyth, according to John Hendrix of SI.com.
ANALYSIS
Grupe has been the presumed favorite to remain the Saints' kicker in 2024 after making 30 of 37 field-goal attempts as a rookie in 2023, but Smyth is apparently hanging around in the competition. Grupe has connected on all three of his field-goal attempts in preseason, but Smyth kicked the game-winning field goal against the Cardinals in the preseason opener and turned heads by hitting a 65-yard field goal in practice Tuesday.
