Week 12 offered some bangers at the fantasy football kicker position with a few week-changing appearances. Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz was the highest scorer of the week with a 22-point performance. Unfortunately, not many were able to take advantage of that big performance, as he was included in just 21% of Yahoo leagues last week.

He made five field goals on his way to those 22 fantasy points, including two punts from 50+ yards (53, 54). He was responsible for just over half of the team’s total scoring in the win as the Broncos improved to a 7-5 record.
It appears that big kicker performances are becoming a pattern against the Las Vegas Raiders, as they have allowed more than 10 fantasy points to opposing PKs in all but two games this season. Next on their schedule are the Kansas City Chiefs, who are rolling out Spencer Shrader as kicker while Harrison Butker is out due to injury. He has made each of his three attempts this year from 41 yards.
