Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Harrison Butker

Saturday, November 22, 9:59 AM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is coming off his best game of the season in Week 11, knocking down four of five field goals, including the game-winner to beat the division rival Minnesota Vikings. It's been an up-and-down year for Santos, who's fought through injuries and kicker controversy with Jake Moody earlier in the year. With Moody in Washington and the injuries behind the veteran kicker, Santos will look to fire off a strong finish to his 12th season. He faces a great matchup in Week 12, against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to kickers this season. With good weather expected and a ton of confidence, Santos is worth starting in Week 12.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Week 12. Butker has struggled this season, and his struggles continued last week against the Denver Broncos. Butker knocked through both of his field goal attempts, but missed one of his two extra-point attempts in Week 11. Butker has an 84.2% field goal percentage and 85.7% extra-point percentage this season, both marks rank outside the top-20 at the position. That said, Butker should be involved in a shootout against Indianapolis this week. The Colts offense has the most yards and points scored this season, which means the Chiefs will need to put a lot of points on the board to keep up. Butker should get a piece of the action and could provide value at the kicker position. Butker is ranked K9 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him worthy of a start in most leagues.
