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.

Has one PAT blocked Sunday
Grupe nailed his only field goal attempt and five of six extra-point tries during Sunday's 44-19 victory versus the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Grupe's lone miss came when his extra-point attempt was blocked following the Saints' final touchdown of the game. The 26-year-old recovered with a 26-yard field goal for the final score of the game late in the fourth quarter. Through two games, Grupe has gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts while converting all but one of his 11 PATs. He could have another productive outing if the Saints' offense continues to roll during next Sunday's home matchup versus the Eagles.

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.
