Blake Grupe Active In Week 13
New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe (groin) was listed as questionable to play in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but he's officially active and will kick against the Lions. The 25-year-old apparently was injured in last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons and was limited in practice all week. Grupe has been a top-10 fantasy kicker in his first year in the NFL in 2023, making 24 of his 30 field-goal attempts, including five of eight from 50-plus yards, and all 19 of his extra-point tries in 11 games for the Saints. Against a Lions defense that has looked worn down the last few weeks, Grupe should be a solid fantasy option while also kicking indoors.

New Orleans Saints Blake GrupeBlake Grupe Uncertain For Week 13
New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe (groin) is listed as questionable heading into the Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Grupe has been limited in practice all week, so his status for Sunday appears legitimately up in the air. As a result, the Saints worked out Mason Crosby and James McCourt this week. The Saints will likely wait until closer to Sunday before signing another kicker. Given the current state of the Saints offense, no kicker is going to have much value this weekend for the Saints. It's hard to imagine the Saints having a ton of success moving the ball given with the amount of injuries they have on offense right now.
Dec 1 · Source via New Orleans Saints Blake GrupeBlake Grupe Logs Back-To-Back Limited Practices
New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe is on the injury report with a right groin injury and has logged back-to-back limited practices. Grupe had a career fantasy day in Week 12 against Atlanta as he knocked down five field goals on a day when New Orleans struggled to find the end zone. Grupe did miss a 54-yard field goal near the end of the game but was perfect on his five other attempts. With Chris Olave (concussion protocol), Rashid Shaheed (thigh), and Michael Thomas (knee) banged up, New Orleans may struggle again to find the end zone against the Detroit Lions in Week 13. Grupe should again have opportunities to convert field goals if he plays Sunday, making him a streamable kicker option coming off of his best fantasy output of the season, but his injury status should be monitored. New Orleans signed kicker Austin Seibert to the practice squad on Tuesday, adding insurance in the case that Grupe is unable to play on Sunday.
Dec 1 · Source via New Orleans Saints Blake GrupeBlake Grupe Stays Limited Thursday
New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe (groin) stayed limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday with a right-groin injury. The Saints signed a kicker to their practice squad earlier this week with Grupe injured, so there's no guarantee yet that he'll be cleared to kick for the Saints in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions. Right now, the 25-year-old is expected to be available, though, and he's been a top-10 fantasy kicker so far in his first NFL season. Grupe comes into Week 13 action as the overall No. 6 kicker in total fantasy points through 12 weeks of play. If he's active on Sunday, he'll be a strong kicking option against a Lions defense that has been pretty generous in recent weeks.
Nov 30 · Source via New Orleans Saints Blake GrupeBlake Grupe Limited At Practice Wednesday
New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe (groin) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice as the team prepares for Week 13 against the Detroit Lions. Grupe was apparently injured in the Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, as the Saints signed Austin Seibert to their practice squad on Monday just in case Grupe is unable to play this upcoming weekend against Detroit. The Saints are calling the 25-year-old day-to-day for now. It means that if you have Grupe as your starting kicker in fantasy lineups this week, you'll want to prepare for the possibility that you'll have to make a late-week adjustment if he's questionable or out. Grupe has been a top-10 fantasy kicker in 2023 by going 24-for-30 on field goals.
Nov 29 · Source via New Orleans Saints Blake GrupeBlake Grupe Injures Himself At Practice Tuesday
New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe injured his groin during practice on Tuesday and is now listed as questionable for a Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The injury is being called minor and Grupe still has a chance to play Sunday according to reports, but the Saints still worked out several kickers on Tuesday. That list includes Mason Crosby and James McCourt. New Orleans also signed veteran kicker Austin Seibert to their practice squad. Grupe's ability to get back on the practice field by Friday will be a good indication of his status heading into Week 13. Fantasy gamers rostering Grupe will want to begin thinking about having a backup plan in place in case he doesn't kick on Sunday.
Nov 28 · Source via New Orleans Saints Blake GrupeBlake Grupe Is A Week 12 Kicker Option
New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe did not attempt an extra point and kicked only one field goal in Week 10 against Minnesota, good for his weakest fantasy output of the season. With New Orleans on bye in Week 11, Grupe was likely dropped in many leagues. Atlanta quietly allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, offering Grupe a prime position to bounce back. If in need of a kicker, Grupe is a more than viable option in a pivotal Week 12 matchup.

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe has only missed one field goal in his career, although it came at an inopportune time as it would have given the Saints a late lead in Week 3. This week, New Orleans travels to New England to take on the Patriots in what is expected to be a defensive battle. Grupe averages 2.5 attempted field goals per game, and the Saints may again struggle to put the ball in the end zone against a strong New England defense. While Grupe does not offer a high ceiling at the kicker position, he has a safe floor and has been efficient when given opportunities.

It is the only missed field goal of his career to date, as he is now 6-for-7. With Jameis Winston likely under center this week, Grupe should see plenty of field goal opportunities.

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe enjoyed an impressive Week 1, as he had a perfect kicking day in his NFL debut.

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe won the job over Wil Lutz, who was dealt to the Denver Broncos, and will make his first career start on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Grupe played his college football at Arkansas State, and making a big jump from Group of 5 football to the NFL is no easy task. While the matchup is solid, look for other kickers to start in Week 1 given Grupe's inexperience. Monitor his play, as his role in what could be a strong New Orleans offense could lead to some intriguing fantasy value.
