Who Should I Start? Harrison Butker or Blake Grupe

Saturday, October 11, 2:20 AM

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Detroit Lions on Sunday night in Week 6. Butker is coming off an underwhelming performance, where he knocked through four extra points and attempted zero field goals. The Chiefs scored 28 points on four touchdowns, leaving Butker with just PATs. This week's matchup against Detroit should grant Butker far more opportunities to score. The Lions are averaging 34.8 points per game this season, the highest in the league. If Kansas City wants to win this game, they will likely have to put up as many points as possible against Detroit. Butker likely won't go two games in a row without a field goal attempt, and he should have more than a few extra-point attempts as well. Butker is ranked K6 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a strong start this week.

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe missed his only field goal attempt from 40 yards in the 26-21 loss to the 49ers in Week 2. He is now 2-for-4 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points on the season. Grupe looks to rebound against the Seahawks, who allowed Chris Boswell to convert three field goals from 40+ yards last week. Despite the matchup, Grupe can remain off fantasy radars this week.
