2025 Fantasy Outlook
Grupe won the Saints' kicker job as an undrafted rookie in 2023 and hasn't missed a game since, making 83.8 percent of field-goal attempts and 97.3 percent of PATS. He's been about average from long range -- going 12 of 17 from 50-plus yards and 15 of 18 from 40-plus -- and about average at converting the shorter stuff. Grupe may face job competition this summer under a new coaching staff, and there's not much chance of the Saints being a top team that can help him pile up volume. Read Past Outlooks
Released by the Saints in November of 2025.
Bumps up to active roster
The Colts elevated Grupe from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Indianapolis opted to move on from Michael Badgley after he missed his third PAT in seven games with the team, waiving him Tuesday. The team tried out three kickers that day and proceeded to sign Grupe to the practice squad. With his jump to the active roster, he'll look to improve upon the 18-for-26 field-goal attempts and 15 of 15 point-after tries that he connected on in 11 appearances with the Saints before they cut him Nov. 25.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Grupe is small even by kicker standards, listed at 5-7, 156. That didn't stop him from catching on with the Saints as an undrafted rookie last year, nor did it stop him from making six of nine kicks from 50-plus yards. He also made each of his 40 PATs, though shorter field goals were a problem area with Grupe missing two of 12 tries inside 30 yards. He tied for eighth among kickers in fantasy scoring and figures to remain the Saints' starter in 2024, with potential benefits including home games played in a dome and a head coach (Dennis Allen) who routinely ranks among the least aggressive in going for it on fourth down.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Close competition in kicker battle
Grupe remains in the midst of a tight battle for the Saints' kicker role with Charlie Smyth, according to John Hendrix of SI.com.
ANALYSIS
Grupe has been the presumed favorite to remain the Saints' kicker in 2024 after making 30 of 37 field-goal attempts as a rookie in 2023, but Smyth is apparently hanging around in the competition. Grupe has connected on all three of his field-goal attempts in preseason, but Smyth kicked the game-winning field goal against the Cardinals in the preseason opener and turned heads by hitting a 65-yard field goal in practice Tuesday.
