Greg Joseph - Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers

Despite playing in a high-scoring offense, Greg Joseph has been a disappointing kicker this season. He has received plenty of opportunities to score, but has missed too many kicks to be a reliable fantasy option. He leads the NFL with five missed extra-point attempts and also missed five field goal attempts.

Wil Lutz - New Orleans Saints vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Wil Lutz entered the 2022 Fantasy Football season with multiple years of top ten finishes among kickers in scoring. This year has been a different story.
