Week 12 offered some shots at the fantasy football kicker position with several weekly changes. The best scorer of the week was the Denver Broncos player Wil Lutz with a 22-point performance. Unfortunately, few were able to capitalize on this big performance, as he was only listed in 21% of Yahoo leagues last week.

He made five field goals, including two kicks of 50+ yards (53, 54), en route to those 22 fantasy points. He accounted for just over half of the team’s scoring in the win as the Broncos improved to 7-5.
Big kicker performances seem to be becoming the pattern against the Las Vegas Raiders, who have allowed 10+ fantasy points against opposing PKs in all but two games this season. Next up on their schedule are the Kansas City Chiefs, who are dumping Spencer Shrader at kicker while Harrison Butker is out with an injury. He made each of his three attempts this year 41 yards.
