2025 Fantasy Outlook
Grupe won the Saints' kicker job as an undrafted rookie in 2023 and hasn't missed a game since, making 83.8 percent of field-goal attempts and 97.3 percent of PATS. He's been about average from long range -- going 12 of 17 from 50-plus yards and 15 of 18 from 40-plus -- and about average at converting the shorter stuff. Grupe may face job competition this summer under a new coaching staff, and there's not much chance of the Saints being a top team that can help him pile up volume. Read Past Outlooks

Makes pair of FGs in loss
KNew Orleans Saints
September 7, 2025
Grupe went 2-of-3 on field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try in the Saints' 20-13 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Grupe's miss was from 37 yards out at the end of a 14-play drive by the Saints. His makes came from 36 and 28 yards, and the 36-yard conversion tied the game at 10-10 in the second quarter. Grupe made 27 of 31 field-goal attempts last season and 31 of his 33 extra-point efforts. With Spencer Rattler at quarterback for New Orleans, Grupe doesn't profile as an ideal fantasy kicker in an offense that figures to struggle to score points.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.
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
KNew Orleans Saints
August 21, 2024
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.
