Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker sunk his lone field-goal attempt and converted two extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 28-year-old nailed a 38-yarder to extend the Chiefs' lead to eight points late in the game. On a day both offenses unexpectedly stagnated, fantasy managers of Butker may have been left disappointed at the lack of production. Week 3's home contest versus Chicago could offer more kicking opportunities, since K.C. may not need to score touchdowns in bunches to top a dysfunctional-looking Bears offense.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker converted all four of his kicks during Week 1's loss to the Detroit Lions. The 28-year-old slots in as an excellent Week 2 play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a clash that could offer plenty of scoring opportunities. Butker will need to hope Sunday's outing doesn't turn into a touchdown-scoring slugfest between these two exciting offenses, but fantasy managers are setting and forgetting the seven-year kicker in their lineups for the upside, regardless.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker made both of his field-goal attempts and two extra-point attempts in Thursday's 21-20 loss to the Detroit Lions. The 28-year-old accounted for all six of KC's second-half points with a 35-yarder and 39-yarder to help keep the scuffling offense in the game. It was a solid 2023 debut for Butker, who hit only 18-of-24 FG tries a year ago. The seven-year veteran is an every-week top-five kicker, and that status shouldn't change next Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a contest that projects for plenty of points.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker logged a 75.0% field-goal rate last season, which signified the worst clip of his six-year career. After the 28-year-old missed four games with an ankle injury in the early goings, he drilled a 62-yard FG (the longest of 2022) in his Week 6 return. It's worth mentioning the Chiefs only went for it on fourth down 12 times a year ago, which was tied for the second-lowest mark in football. The Detroit Lions ranked 10th in fantasy points per game to kickers (5.76), but much of that had to do with their failure to resist touchdowns, leading to fewer FG tries. Weather should not a play factor whatsoever on Thursday and few kickers play in an offense as potent as KC's, justifying Butker as a top-tier option for Week 1 in a game that could feature scoring in bunches.
