Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Harrison Butker

Saturday, September 13, 12:17 AM

In the season opener, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell picked up right where he left off in 2024, drilling two field goals and four extra points. Most notably, he set a franchise record with a 60-yarder that gave Pittsburgh a 34-32 lead with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter. Boswell will look to carry this momentum into a Week 2 meeting with the Seattle Seahawks, who fared well against fantasy kickers last season. Despite the matchup and modest projected point total, Boswell's consistency keeps him in play as a reliable starter across all formats.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in Week 2. This Super Bowl rematch could prove beneficial for Butker's fantasy relevance because of the strong Eagles defense. If the Kansas City offense is unable to complete drives, Butker could be asked to pick up the points with his leg. The veteran kicker knocked through all three of his field goal attempts in their Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, but ultimately missed the extra point attempt following a rushing touchdown from Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter. Butker has been one of the most consistent kickers in the league since his debut, and he will hope to continue the trend in Week 2. Butker is ranked K13 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a fringe starter in a 12-team league.
