Blake Grupe Fantasy Overview

Rams K Blake Grupe hurt his knee in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals and is doubtful to return. He was just signed this week to replace K Harrison Mevis. We'll update Grupe's status when we know more, but don't expect to see him again today.

The Rams are releasing K Harrison Mevis, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mevis missed 4 FGs in 5 games, including 2 in Monday night's overtime loss to the Bills (although 1 was blocked). He'll be replaced by K Blake Grupe, who the Rams are signing off the Jets' practice squad. Grupe owns a subpar 81.9% FG conversion rate, but 25.7% of his career tries have come from 50+ yards. He's made 85.9% of his kicks from inside 50 yards. Grupe is on the fantasy radar kicking for a high-scoring offense, starting this week with the Rams implied for a whopping 33 points at home for the Cardinals.

The Colts waived K Michael Badgley. He missed his third XP over the last six games in the loss to the Texans. That point meant the Colts needed a TD on their final drive, rather than a FG to tie. We'll see who the team signs to replace Badgley going forward.

Update: The Colts are signing K Blake Grupe to their practice squad, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Grupe will likely kick vs. the Jaguars this weekend.

The Saints released K Blake Grupe, who missed his seventh and eighth FGs of the season last week. He'll be replaced by K Cade York, the former Brown, Commander, and Bengal who's made just 73% of his career FGs tries. York won't be a recommended fantasy play.
