Kicker Wil Lutz is named captain, highlighting the importance of reliable special-teams leadership. Lutz's veteran presence anchors the Broncos' kicking game; fantasy impact centers on field-goal consistency and extra-point reliability, with potential upside in long-range kicks and windy-week scenarios.

Lutz anchored Denver’s kicking unit, appearing alongside Nix and the Broncos at Red Rocks. His reliability and long-range leg are a steady fantasy asset, especially in a stadium-driven scoring environment and in clutch moments where field goals and kickoff touchbacks swing weekly totals.

Lutz lands in Denver with a reliable kicking floor as the offense grows under Payton. His leg strength and accuracy make him a steady fantasy kicker option, especially in a team with improved drive efficiency and red‐zone chances.

Lutz kicked well, including a 26-yard field goal on a drive stalled by a false start and a later 35-yard field goal. His steady kicking contributes to Denver’s scoring power in the preseason and could be a dependable asset in the regular season as part of a multi-score night for the Broncos.

Lutz kept a high-accuracy narrative in 2024 with 31/34 FGs and perfect on PATs, finishing as K8. The Denver offense suits a kicker who thrives in efficient drives, and Lutz’s leg strength and indoor success position him as a steady floor with occasional ceiling weeks.
