Grupe converted 2 of 2 field-goal attempts and was 1 for 1 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-19 defeat against Washington. Grupe bounced back after going 0 for 2 on field-goal tries last week. The second-year kicker knocked through field goals on back-to-back drives in the fourth quarter, first hitting from 41 yards out before hitting again from 51 yards. Grupe has now converted 22 of 26 field-goal tries this season, and he's gone 14-for-16 on attempts of 40-plus yards. The Saints will next play versus the Packers on Monday, Dec. 23.

Grupe is coming off a rough game in Week 14 at the Giants with two missed field goals and just two extra points, but prior to that he scored 10 Fantasy points in Week 13 against the Rams. But with Derek Carr (hand) out in Week 15 against Washington, the Saints offense could struggle to move the ball, and Grupe is not worth using in most leagues. Along with that, the Commanders are No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers, and only three kickers have scored at least 10 Fantasy points against Washington this year.

Grupe went 0-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants. Grupe failed to convert two field-goal tries of 50-plus yards, first missing wide left on a 53-yarder in the first quarter. He then had a 60-yard attempt blocked as time expired at the end of the first half. The second-year kicker has been steady this season, and he'd previously done well from long distance, going a perfect 5-for-5 on tries of 50-plus over the first 12 games. However, Grupe's struggled as of late with three missed field-goal tries over the last two weeks. He'll look to bounce back next week versus Washington on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Grupe went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams. Grupe was unsuccessful on a 36-yard field-goal attempt on the first play of the second quarter, but that was sandwiched between two successful 54-yard field-goal tries, the second which took place on the final play of the first half. Grupe is a perfect 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards, and on the year, he's converted 20 of 22 field-goal tries and 26 of 28 extra-point attempts through 12 regular-season games.

Grupe went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Sunday's 20-17 victory against the Falcons. Grupe put the Saints on the board with a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter, and he scored the team's final three points with a 26-yarder in the third quarter. The second-year kicker has missed just one of his 19 field-goal attempts through the first 10 games of the season. Lately New Orleans' offense has not been nearly as hot as it was to start the year, but Grupe's surefire efficiency makes him a reliable backup option or waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues. He'll look to remain accurate during next week's home game versus the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 17.
