Who Should I Start? Harrison Butker or Blake Grupe

Friday, November 21, 3:55 PM

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.

The New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent kicker Cade York to their practice squad on Tuesday and are releasing kicker Blake Grupe in a corresponding move, a source told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The Saints are moving on from Grupe after he missed two field goals in the team's Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 27-year-old has made only 69.2% of his 26 field-goal attempts in 2025 in his third year in the league, although he has gone a perfect 15-for-15 on extra points. The Saints also worked out former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker on Monday, but they decided to go with York instead. York will likely be signed to the active 53-man roster for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. The 24-year-old has kicked for three different teams in two NFL seasons, going 33-for-45 on field goals (73.3%) and 51-for-54 on extra-point tries. Fantasy managers will want to avoid York in one of the lowest scoring offenses in football.
