Blake Grupe To Make First Career Start

Blake Grupe To Make First Career Start

one year ago

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.
