Grupe connected on five point-after tries during Sunday's 35-14 victory versus the Browns. Grupe never got a chance to attempt a field goal as the Saints' offense rolled against Cleveland. The second-year kicker has now converted all but one of his kicking attempts over the last six weeks, missing just one field-goal try Week 8 versus the Chargers. With New Orleans on bye Week 12, Grupe's next opportunity to play will come versus the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 1.

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.

Grupe went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 26-8 loss against the Chargers. Grupe missed a field goal for the first time this season, pushing a 44-yard attempt wide right during the fourth quarter. The second-year kicker still made field-goal tries of 40 and 43 yards, and he's now gone 13-for-14 on FGAs while making all but two of his 20 PATs through eight games. Grupe will look to make all of his tries during next week's game at Carolina on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Grupe connected on his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Thursday's 33-10 loss versus Denver. The Saints' offense struggled due to starting quarterback Derek Carr being sidelined for the second week in a row. New Orleans scored 27 points during the second quarter of last week's loss to Tampa Bay, but it's scored just 10 points in seven other quarters over the last two games. Nevertheless, Grupe has converted all 11 of his field-goal tries through seven contests this season, and his only misses have come on two of 20 PATs. Grupe will look to remain perfect from the field when the Saints take on the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Grupe connected on both field-goal attempts and was 3-for-3 on point-after tries during Sunday's 51-27 defeat versus Tampa Bay. Grupe saw his workload bump back up after attempting just one field goal over the previous two contests. The second-year kicker hit field-goal tries of 42 and 29 yards in the second quarter, and he's now converted all 10 of his FGAs and all but two of his 19 PATs through the first six games of the season. Grupe and the Saints' offense will look to put up another strong outing versus the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 7.
