News

  • Key contributor on SNF

    Butker nailed all three field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-27 win versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: After going without a field-goal attempt last week, Butker took advantage of the opportunities he got Sunday night, knocking home two from inside 40 and one from beyond 50 yards in addition to his three extra-point conversions. Kicking behind the highest-scoring offense in the league, Butker should be rostered in almost all formats that include kickers.

  • No field-goal tries in Week 10

    Butker went 3-for-4 on point-after tries during Sunday's 27-17 win versus Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Butker left both a point and a fantasy point on the board with his missed PAT, but it would have been a disappointing fantasy showing either way, mainly because the Chiefs never attempted a field goal when in scoring range. It's not exactly a case of going for it on fourth either; the Chiefs have gone for it on fourth just eight times in nine games, tying for the sixth-fewest fourth-down attempts in the NFL. Butker has attempted at least one field goal in every other game, and the early odds…read more

  • Hits game-winner despite struggles

    Butker connected on two of three field-goal attempts and missed his only extra-point try during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over Tennessee.

    Analysis: After missing just once all year in 2021 from inside 50 yards, Butker has now missed twice from inside 50 in the last two games. He added a missed PAT on his only try in this one, likely leaving a sour taste in his mouth with his first miss on those this season. He's still just a few weeks back from an ankle issue that cost him some time, and Butker has a strong track record in Kansas City, so it's unlikely he's on the hot seat, and he's still kicking for one of the league best offenses in…read more

  • Misfires once in seven kicks

    Butker went 0-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on point-after tries during Sunday's 44-23 win against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Unfortunately, Butker's lone miss Sunday came on an attempt that counts for the most for fantasy purposes, but he at least knocked home all six of his extra-point tries to maintain some fantasy value. The Chiefs demonstrated their offensive prowess against one of the better defenses in the NFL, which bodes well for his outlook.

  • Long make in return

    Butker made two of his three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Butker returned from an ankle injury suffered in the season opener to drain a 62-yarder before halftime. While he went wide left with a 51-yard try to begin the third quarter, Butker rallied to make from 44 yards later on. Now that he's healthy again, look for Butker to resurface as one of the league's most productive kickers.

  • Will be available Sunday

    Butker (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

    Analysis: As expected, Butker will be available Week 6 for the first time since spraining his ankle in the season opener. The Chiefs scored 42 points in an overtime win the last time these teams met in the 2021 postseason, so Butker should get plenty of opportunities during his first game back following a four-game absence.

  • Practices fully, should play Sunday

    Butker (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: Butker has been sidelined since spraining his ankle Week 1, but he practiced without limitations Thursday and should be good to go for Sunday's game versus the Bills. Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub also said that he expects Butker to play this weekend barring any setbacks, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com.

  • Should return Sunday

    Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub said Thursday that Butker (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Bills if the kicker avoids any setbacks in practice over the next two days, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Butker hasn't played since spraining his left ankle Week 1, but he appears to be on the verge of a return. Per Nate Taylor of The Athletic, Butker was spotted Thursday doing his usual three-step routine on field goals, suggesting the injury isn't affecting how he approaches his kicks.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Butker (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Buffalo, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Butker hasn't played since he sprained his ankle Week 1, but his participation in practice Wednesday suggests he's nearing a return to the field. If the Chiefs decide to err on the side of caution and hold Butker out for Sunday's game, Matthew Wright would be slated to handle kicking duties in Butker's stead.

  • Will practice Wednesday

    Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Butker (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Butker has missed four straight games since suffering an ankle sprain during the season opener, but his participation in practice suggests he's getting close to making his return. If he's able to avoid a setback over the next few days, the veteran kicker should be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

  • Out once again

    Butker (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: This comes as no surprise considering Butker was not able to practice all week. Expect Matthew Wright to once again taking over the kicking duties in a matchup that figures to have plenty of offense.

  • Doesn't practice Friday

    Butker (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Butker failed to practice for a second straight day ahead of Week 5 and appears to be trending towards a fourth straight absence due to an ankle sprain he suffered during the season opener. Matt Ammendola, who's now with the Cardinals, replaced Butker during his first two absences, but Matthew Wright got the job in Week 4, connecting on all seven of his kicks (two fields goals and five PATs). If Butker is ruled out for Monday's primetime matchup against the Raiders, Wright figures to be…read more

    Butker (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Butker hasn't played since Week 1, when he suffered a sprained ankle. The fact that he's not practicing to begin Week 5 doesn't bode well for his early chances of suiting up Monday against the Raiders, but the Chiefs may wait until their final session of the week Saturday before ruling on Butker's status. If Butker remains out for another week, Matthew Wright, who made both of his field-goal attempts and all five point-after tries Week 4 against the Buccaneers, would likely be elevated from the…read more

  • Ruled out Sunday

    Butker (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The Chiefs will elevate Matthew Wright from the practice squad in Butker's absence. Wright attempted 24 field goals with the Jaguars last season, converting nearly 88 percent of his tries, with all three misses coming from 40-plus yards.

  • Game-time call for Week 4

    Butker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Butker missed practice Thursday and Friday, but coach Andy Reid said the kicker's status nonetheless will come down to a game-time decision, per Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star. Fantasy managers who are hoping for Butker to play for the first time since the season opener should make sure to have room on the roster for potential replacement Matthew Wright, as alternatives will be limited with the Chiefs playing Sunday night.

  • Not present at practice Friday

    Butker (ankle) was not spotted during Friday's practice, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Butker has been sidelined for back-to-back games due to a sprained left ankle, and while he returned to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, he's since missed back-to-back sessions. Special-teams coordinator Dave Toub suggested Thursday that Butker's status for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay would be a real game-time decision, so his availability likely won't be known until closer to Sunday's 8:20 PM ET kickoff.

    Butker (ankle) won't practice Thursday, and special teams coordinator Dave Toub suggested the kicker's status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers could "come down right to the end" of the week, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After sitting out both of the Chiefs' past two games with a sprained left ankle, Butker practiced Wednesday in a limited fashion, but he was held out Thursday while still contending with some soreness. The Chiefs will see if Butker is able to get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday before giving him a designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Butker (ankle) is set to practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Butker was unable to practice last week before missing his second straight game, but his return to work Wednesday offers encouragement that he'll be able to kick this weekend against the Buccaneers in the absence of any setbacks. If Butker isn't ready to play Week 4, Matthew Wright is a candidate to be elevated from Kansas City's practice squad to handle kicking duties.

    Analysis: Butker will miss a second consecutive game as a result of the ankle injury he sustained during Kansas City's season opener. Matt Ammendola filled in for Butker in Week 2 and should continue to do so against Indianapolis. Butker's next chance to play will come Week 4 against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Butker will miss a second straight day of practice having sat out Wednesday as well. The kicker's status for Week 3 against the Colts remains up in the air, as he appears to be a firm questionable for the contest. If he is unable to play, Matt Ammendola should handle kicking duties once again.

    Butker (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Butker suffered the injury during Kansas City's season opener but was able to return to that game before sitting out Week 2 against the Chargers. Head coach Andy Reid said Monday that the Chiefs will take a wait-and-see approach before deciding on Butker's status for Sunday's matchup against the Colts, but if the 27-year-old doesn't return to practice in some form this week, Matt Ammendola will likely continue to fill in as the team's placekicker.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Butker (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Butker sprained the ankle on his non-kicking leg during Kansas City's season-opening win over the Cardinals this past Sunday. In his absence Week 2, the Chiefs are expected to use former Jet Matt Ammendola as their kicker, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. While he lacks Butker's experience or reliability, Ammendola benefits from being attached to one of the top offenses in football, making him a viable Week 2 fantasy option.

    Butker (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday.

    Analysis: Though Butker wasn't forced to exit the Week 1 win over the Cardinals and converted a 54-yard field goal and all four of his extra-point tries, the 27-year-old is still nursing an ankle sprain that left him unable to handle kickoffs. The Chiefs are currently viewing Butker as day-to-day, but he'll likely need to practice in some capacity Wednesday to play in Thursday's game against the Chargers.

  • Managing left ankle sprain

    Kansas City head coach Andy Reid confirmed Tuesday that Butker is dealing with a left ankle sprain and is considered day-to-day as Thursday's game against the Chargers approaches, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports. "We'll just see how that goes," Reid said of Butker. "He's got some swelling. He's a tough kid."

    Analysis: Butker played through the injury in Sunday's 44-21 win over the Cardinals, converting on all four of his extra-point tries in addition to a 54-yard field-goal attempt. However, despite his long-range conversion, the ankle sprain apparently kept Butker from being able to kick at his maximum distance, as Kansas City turned to safety Justin Reid to handle kickoffs from the first quarter onward. The team listed Butker as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report and will likely wait…read more

  • Plays through ankle issue

    Butker converted his only field goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries while playing through an ankle injury during Sunday's 44-21 win versus Arizona.

    Analysis: Butker briefly left the contest due to the ankle injury but eventually returned and finished the game. He was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, so he's not guaranteed to be available for Kansas City's matchup with the Chargers on Thursday in Week 2.

    Butker (ankle) was estimated as a non-participant on Kansas City's injury report Monday, though the team did not formally practice, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Butker had to be carted off the field after he suffered an ankle injury on a kickoff during Sunday's season-opening win against the Cardinals. The 27-year-old was able to return for a successful 54-yard field-goal attempt just before the end of the first half, so it appears that this issue did not limit his overall kicking capabilities. If he is available heading into the team's Thursday night matchup against the Chargers, then Butker should reprise placekicking duties while likely either…read more

    Butker (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Cardinals late in the second quarter, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Butker was carted off the field in the first quarter of Sunday's season opener due to an ankle injury, but he made a 54-yard field goal with his ankle taped up shortly before halftime. Although Justin Reid handled most of the kicking duties for Kansas City in the first half, it appears as though Butker will be available for the remainder of the game if needed.

    Butker (ankle) was carted off the field Sunday against the Cardinals, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports. He's officially questionable to return.

    Analysis: The nature and significance of Butker's injury is still unknown, but being carted off the field would typically signify something significant. With Butker out, safety Justin Reid successfully kicked an extra-point attempt for the Chiefs, and he's also handling kickoffs.

  • Makes all three kicks Thursday

    Butker (ankle) made both extra-point tries and his only field-goal attempt during Thursday's preseason win versus the Packers.

    Analysis: Butker missed practice on Aug. 15 due to ankle soreness, but he proceeded to log every kicker rep in the Chiefs' final two exhibitions, exhibiting his health ahead of the regular season. Since Patrick Mahomes became the team's full-time starting quarterback in 2018, Butker has averaged 51.3 made PATs and 27 made FGAs per campaign, which equates to 8.3 points per game.

    Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Butker missed Monday's practice due to a sore ankle, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Butker has made at least 89 percent of his field goals in all five of his seasons with Kansas City and is signed through the 2023 campaign. While the issue isn't expected to be serious, the Chiefs may opt to sign an emergency kicker for Saturday's preseason matchup with Washington.

    Analysis: Butker posted another fabulous campaign from a kicking standpoint in 2021, connecting on 89.3 percent of his field-goal attempts and all but two of his 49 extra-point attempts. His kicking volume hasn't been on quite the level it was earlier in his career, when he attempted 42 field goals in 2017 and 38 field goals in 2019, finishing out the year tied for 18th in makes (25) while finishing 21st in attempts (28).

  • Late field goal not enough

    Butker connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Butker had multiple made field goals in seven straight games prior to his absence last week after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. It was a disappointing return to action for Butker, whose game-tying kick late in the fourth quarter wasn't enough to keep the Bengals from picking up the win. He will aim to finish out the regular season strong this week against the Broncos.

    Kansas City activated Butker (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Butker sat out the Chiefs' Week 16 win over the Steelers after testing positive for the virus, but he's now back on the active roster following a nine-day isolation period. While filling in for Butker last week, Elliott Fry went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-4 on point-after attempts. Fry has since been released, clearing the way for Butker to reclaim kicking duties.

    Butker (illness) won't be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of the Chiefs' Week 16 game against the Steelers after he tested positive for the virus Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Though vaccinated players that test positive for the virus are eligible to be removed from the NFL's COVID-19 protocol in as little as one day if asymptomatic, unvaccinated players that test positive are subject to automatic 10-day quarantines. While head coach Andy Reid hasn't officially ruled Butker out, Sweeney's report confirms that the kicker is following the protocol for unvaccinated players, making him ineligible to play Sunday.

    Butker was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus.

    Analysis: Butker was one of a handful of Chiefs players to be deactivated Monday due to a positive COVID-19 tests. He'll be eligible to play Week 16 against the Steelers if he's vaccinated and is asymptomatic of the virus, but for now, Butker's status is in flux. Elliott Fry, who was signed to the Chiefs' practice squad last week, would be the most likely candidate to join the active roster if Butker isn't cleared to play against Pittsburgh.

  • Racking up kicks

    Butker converted both of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries in Sunday's blowout win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Butker's fantasy value greatly benefits from the Chiefs' recent offensive surge, as he's attempted a combined 13 kicks over the past two games and 26 over the past four. The Chiefs seem to be peaking at the right time for fantasy managers and the team alike, with fantasy playoffs kicking off this week in many leagues and the NFL's playoffs only five weeks away.

  • Connects on four of five kicks

    Butker connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and one of his two extra-point tries Sunday against the Broncos.

    Analysis: After missing just one kick through the first nine weeks, Butker has misfired at least once in each of the last three contests. He still hasn't missed on a field goal from inside of 40 yards at this point and has just two missed PATs on his 2021 resume, so there isn't much to worry about at this point. On a positive note, Butker has attempted three or more field goals in each of the last three games after trying no more than two through the first nine games, so there's a reason for optimism…read more

    Butker missed one of three field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point tries in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Butker started by missing his opening PAT, but he subsequently converted a 37-yard field goal on Kansas City's next drive. After a PAT and a 53-yard make next, Butker ended by going wide right on a 51-yard attempt. Overall, it was a shaky performance from the veteran, who has now missed at least one kick in back-to-back games going into the bye week.

  • Picking up steam despite misfire

    Butker finished 2-for-3 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Raiders.

    Analysis: Butker's miss Sunday evening marked just his second of the season and his first from inside of 50 yards. On the positive side of things, the Chiefs' offense seems to be headed in the right direction again, giving Butker a season-high eight combined kicking attempts between field goals and extra points Sunday. With Dallas up next, the Chiefs will likely need to light up the scoreboard again in a battle of two high-powered offenses.

  • Another clean kicking effort

    Butker nailed his two field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try Sunday versus the Packers.

    Analysis: Butker has just one misfire in the kicking game all season, and that came on an attempt from more than 50 yards away. He's one of the more reliable kickers at this point, though the Chiefs' offense has been a bit of a letdown this season, shrinking his opportunities to post fantasy points.

  • Deposits game-winning kick

    Butker knocked home both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts Monday versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Butker's fantasy value hasn't been quite on the level that was expected with the Chiefs' offense struggling to rack up points consistently. His kicks Monday included a clutch make from 34 yards with just over a minute left, which proved to be the game-winning tally. The offense may need to kick it into gear next week, however, to keep pace with a streaking Packers squad, which could lead to more kicks for Butker.

  • First misfire of season

    Butker connected on one of his two field-goal attempts Sunday versus the Titans.

    Analysis: Butker missed his first kick of the season late in the third quarter Sunday, missing a 57-yard attempt that had little impact on a game sporting a 27-3 score at the time. It was an uncharacteristically poor showing from the Chiefs' offense this week, but the team should have a good chance to bounce back next week versus the Giants.

  • Still unscathed on kicks

    Butker nailed his lone field-goal attempt and knocked home all four of his extra-point attempts Sunday versus Washington.

    Analysis: Butker connected on his second attempt of 50-plus yards in as many weeks and has yet to misfire on a kick this season, going 6-for-6 on field goals and 23-for-23 on extra points. He could have a good amount of chances on tap this week versus a Tennessee defense allowing 26.8 points per game, ninth-most in the league.

  • Makes all four kicks

    Butker made both his field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 38-20 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Butker converted from 38 yards to open the scoring before drilling a 54-yarder to end the first half. With eight points total Sunday, he brought his season tally to 34 through five games, surprisingly leaving him in the middle of the pack among kickers league-wide thus far.

  • Perfect on PATs

    Butker did not attempt a field goal but made all six of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 42-30 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Butker now has two games without a field-goal attempt this season, restricting his output despite the supporting role he plays to Kansas City's high-powered offense. With only three field goals through four games, he sports just 26 points thus far, but Butker at least hasn't missed a single one of his 20 total attempts.

  • Extends perfect kicking streak

    Butker nailed his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point attempts Sunday against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Butker has just three field-goal attempts through three games but has made all of them and has added 11 extra-point tries, making him a perfect 14-for-14 on kicks thus far. His perfection streak extends through the final two postseason contests last year as well, so Butker has gone five straight without missing a kick of any kind.

  • Still perfect on kicks

    Butker nailed all of his five extra-point attempts Sunday against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Butker didn't have the most fantasy-friendly day considering he didn't attempt a field goal, but he at least salvaged it a bit by making all of his five extra-point tries on the drives the Chiefs finished with touchdowns. He's still a valuable fantasy commodity among kickers given his accuracy and the fact that he's backing one of the best offenses in the league.

  • Makes all five kicks Week 1

    Butker was a perfect 2-for-2 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points during Sunday's 33-29 win against the Browns.

    Analysis: Butker didn't get much work in the first half as the Chiefs mustered just 10 points by intermission. Patrick Mahomes and company picked up the pace after halftime, though, and Butker ended up finishing Week 1 with a respectable nine points. Butker nailed a relative chip shot from 28 yards out for Kansas City's first three points of the season and later added a 43-yarder, which was a good sign after he was just 3-for-5 from 40-49 yards a year ago. He'll look for another productive performance…read more

  • Tallies all of Chiefs' points

    Butker connected on all three of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's Super Bowl LV loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Butker did his best to reward the Chiefs' drives into Tampa Bay territory, connecting on two field goals from 49-plus yards out on football's biggest stage. Unfortunately, Butker's first-quarter field goal to open the scoring was the only time Kansas City held the lead all night. He closed out the postseason 7-for-8 on field goals and 6-for-7 on extra-point tries. Butker remains under contract through the 2024 season and figures to be one of the top fantasy kicking options again next season.

  • Perfect in conference clincher

    Butker made his only field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Butker converted from 45 yards on his lone field goal, which, along with a handful of PATs, helped him rebound from missing twice in the divisional round. After that performance, the kicker should be confident ahead of his team's return to Tampa Bay to play in the Super Bowl. In his Week 12 outing at Raymond James Stadium, Butker made all five of his kicks for nine total points.

  • Misses twice in win

    Butker missed one of his four field-goal attempts and one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-17 AFC divisional-round win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Butker converted from 50, 28 and 33 yards, but he missed his first PAT and hit the left upright with a 33-yarder to begin the second half. Despite putting together another double-digit point outing, Butker has now missed 10 kicks this season, giving him some vulnerability heading into Sunday's AFC Championship Game versus the Bills.

  • Limited to PATs

    Butker did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-21 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Butker's opportunities were limited with Kansas City's offense resting its most explosive players. With three points Sunday, Butker finished the regular season with 123 total, placing him 11th league-wide among kickers but marking a new low over his four years to date.

  • Minimal usage in Week 16

    Butker knocked home his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point attempts in Week 16 versus the Falcons.

    Analysis: Butker's run of perfection in the kicking game extended to six straight games Sunday, with Butker going 10-for-10 on field goals and 18-for-18 on extra points over that span. He should have a few opportunities to add to his perfect streak in the regular-season finale, but it's worth noting that the Chiefs could rest some of the usual starters with the No. 1 seed in the AFC already locked up.

  • Continues perfect stretch

    Butker connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra points Sunday versus the Saints.

    Analysis: Butker has not missed a kick in any of the last five games, hitting true on all nine of his field-goal attempts and 16 of his extra-point tries. He remains a viable fantasy option in the last two weeks of the regular season, but it's worth noting he has topped two field-goal attempts just once over the last five games.

    Butker knocked home his lone field-goal attempt and all of his four extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Dolphins.

    Analysis: While Butker's minimal usage as a field-goal kicker won't help win any fantasy leagues, he at least made his lone attempt of the day and added some extra value by converting all of his four extra-point tries. He has gone four straight weeks without misfiring on a kick after missing at least one in six of the eight games between Weeks 2 and 9.

  • Connects on five field goals

    Butker nailed all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's game versus the Broncos.

    Analysis: Butker was called on for more than three attempts for the first time all season Sunday thanks to a stingy Broncos defense, and he made more than two kicks for just the third time. He only attempted one extra point on the day but served as the team's primary source of scoring, accounting for 15 of the team's 22 points on the board. With some potentially high-scoring contests rounding out the 2020 season, Butker could be in line for a strong fantasy finish.

    Analysis: After a pair of zero field-goal attempt games in two of the previous three weeks, Butker made his mark again Sunday, which he needed to in a three-point win. He remains one of the best fantasy kicker options behind the league's second-highest scoring offense (31.6 points per game).

  • Another barren field goal day

    Butker didn't attempt a field goal but knocked home all of his five extra-point attempts during Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

    Analysis: Butker has now attempted no field goals in two of the last three games after attempting at least one in each of the first seven contests and a total of 14 over that span. He was at least perfect on his extra-point tries and could be needed more frequently next week versus a Tampa Bay squad coming off of a tough loss Monday to the Rams.

  • Solid scoring day despite misses

    Butker tallied two field goals and three extra points Sunday versus the Panthers.

    Analysis: On the downside of Butker's stat line is that he misfired on a pair of kicks, so there were potential points left off the board yet again. The fourth-year kicker missed from inside of 50 yards just once all of last season but has already done so twice and has missed six extra-point attempts after knocking home 45 of 48 in 2019. While both present a mild concern, it's not enough of an issue at this point to worry about his job security.

  • Easy day in kicking game

    Butker knocked home all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Jets.

    Analysis: Butker didn't have to attempt a field goal Sunday in what turned into a lopsided affair, but he at least busted a string of missed extra-point attempts in four of the last five games. Next up is a Carolina defense that has held opponents to 27 or fewer points in each of the last six games, though there aren't many teams who can match the Chiefs' offense.

  • Big day in kicking game

    Butker nailed all three of his field-goal attempts and knocked home four of his five extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Broncos.

    Analysis: Butker continues to be accurate on field-goal attempts, missing just one of his first 14 through seven games, but he continues to work through some issues on extra-point tries, having missed one in each of the last five games he has attempted one. Despite the minor struggles in that department, Butker's ability to clean up drives with field goals should continue to pay the biggest dividends from a fantasy standpoint.

  • Misses another PAT

    Butker finished Monday's game versus the Bills 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts while connecting on just two of his three extra-point tries.

    Analysis: While Butker has misfired on just one field goal through the first six weeks, he's begun a troubling trend of missing on extra-point attempts, missing one in four of the last five contests. Fortunately, it hasn't cost the Chiefs a game to date, but it's something to monitor as the season progresses. Kansas City is averaging north of 29 points per contest through the first six, so there is plenty of reason to believe Butker will continue to get his opportunities in the kicking game.

    Analysis: Butker had some recent struggles with extra points, missing one in each of the last three contests, so his return to form Sunday should calm any potential concerns in that department. Next up is a Bills defense that may be able to slow down the Chiefs enough to force additional field-goal attempts in Week 6.

  • Nearly perfect Monday

    Analysis: Butker has surprisingly misfired on an extra-point attempt in each of the last three weeks after missing just three of his 48 attempts last season. On the plus side, he was perfect on field goals, which are much more valuable from a fantasy perspective. Butker has attempted at least two field goals in three of the four games and should continue to see ample attempts behind a high-powered Chiefs offense.

  • Uncharacteristic Week 3 outing

    Butker missed his only field goal attempt as well as one of his four extra-point tries in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Butker followed his Week 2 heroics with an unusually poor performance. He not only went wide left on his first PAT attempt, but also missed the same way on a 42-yard field goal prior to halftime. Through three games, Butker has now misfired on a pair of extra points, with Monday's inaccurate attempt contributing toward a season-low of four points total.

  • Nails game-winner

    Butker was a perfect 3-for-3 on field goals, including a game-winning kick from 58 yards out in overtime, Sunday versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: The only blemish on his record was a blocked PAT, which marked the first miss of any kind so far this season in his kicking game. Even more impressive, Butker hit a pair of kicks from beyond 50 yards Sunday, which can pay major dividends in some fantasy formats. Kansas City's road doesn't get any easier with the Ravens on tap in Week 3 -- this is an opponent that could limit field-goal attempts.

  • Leads NFL in field goals

    Butker finished 2019 with a league-high 34 field goals made and finished third for extra-point makes (45) behind Justin Tucker (57) and Wil Lutz (48).

    Analysis: Butker missed just one field-goal attempt from inside of 50 yards all season, but he did misfire on three extra-point tries. He has five more years remaining on his contract with the Chiefs, and there is nothing to suggest he's falling off in any way. Given his spot on a high-powered Kansas City squad, Butker should be one of the first kickers off the board in 2020 drafts.

    Analysis: Butker has now missed three PATs on the season but continues to convert field goals at a high percentage, knocking home at least 89 percent in each of his first three seasons. Butker added another make from 50-plus Sunday, upping his season percentage to 50 from 50 or beyond. From inside the 50, Butker has been superb, nailing 30 of his 31 attempts.

  • Nails three more field goals

    Butker converted all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Butker didn't attempt an extra-point on the day, as the first touchdown resulted in a botched snap by punter Dustin Colquitt, and the second was a two-point conversion to make up the lost points. Even with a tough Bears defense up next, the Chiefs offense should move the ball enough to get Butker tries again in Week 16.

The third-year kicker has missed just one try inside of 50 yards all season and should continue to provide plenty of fantasy value working as the kicker for the high-powered Chiefs offense.

    Analysis: Butker was perfect on field goals when he took the field for a game-tying attempt with just three seconds remaining. Unfortunately, that didn't go well, with the Titans blocking his 52-yard attempt as time expired. The final missed kick doesn't detract from his solid overall fantasy day, and there's a good chance he will continue seeing opportunities to kick with Patrick Mahomes piloting a high-powered Chiefs offense.
