Lutz did not convert on either of his two field-goal tries but made both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 16-14 loss at Kansas City.
In a game decided by just two points, Lutz converting on just one of his field-goal attempts could have made the difference. It's hard to pin too much blame on him though, as his 60-yard try at the end of the half came up just short, and what would have been a game-winning 35-yarder as time expired was blocked by Leo Chenal. He'll be looking to bounce back in Week 11 versus the Falcons.

Broncos' Wil Lutz: Kicker to Sit
Rotowire
Lutz had a huge revenge game at New Orleans in Week 7 with 18 Fantasy points, but he's combined for eight Fantasy points in his past two games against Carolina and Baltimore. He has three games in his past four outings with one field goal attempt or less, and the Chiefs have allowed only one kicker to score more than eight Fantasy points this season, which was Evan McPherson in Week 2. I would avoid Lutz in all leagues in Week 10.
