Who Should I Start? Harrison Butker or Austin Seibert

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. In Kansas City's last contest, Butker nailed four of five field goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts in the 26-13 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. Butker has been accurate this season, draining 12 of his 14 field goal attempts and 10 of 11 extra-point attempts. Butker has been one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL throughout his career, nailing over 85% of his field goal attempts in every season except 2022. Butker has also made over 90% of his extra-point attempts in his career. The San Francisco defense is a well-rounded unit that could trouble the Kansas City offense when the field shortens. If the Chiefs offense stalls within Butker's range, he is more than capable of splitting the uprights. The Kansas City Chiefs kicker should be worthy of a start in Week 7.

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert had a busy evening as he went 4-for-4 on attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts in their Week 7 blowout victory over the Carolina Panthers. After missing his first attempt last week, Siebert bounced back this weekend and continued his excellent campaign. The 27-year-old's longest attempt of the evening was from 49 yards out. Even though rookie sensation Jayden Daniels (ribs) left the game in the opening frame, the Washington offense looked just as potent, providing Seibert with ample scoring opportunities. Seibert remains a high-end kicker heading into a Week 8 tilt against the Chicago Bears.
