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
Released by the Saints in November of 2025.
Plays well in Indy debut
Grupe made both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
The kicker was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to replace Michael Badgley, who had missed three extra points in seven games with the Colts this year. Grupe himself failed to connect on eight field-goal tries with the Saints earlier this season, but he got another shot and made the most of it Sunday. The third-year pro should get another chance next Sunday at Seattle, though he may not have many scoring opportunities against one of the league's best defenses.

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.

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.
