Harrison Butker Worth Starting Against Lions

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.

Chad Ryland a Worthy Starting Option in Week 5?

Saturday, October 4, 12:59 PM

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland has connected on eight of 10 field goal attempts and all eight of his extra-point tries through his first four games of 2025. Both he and the Cardinals should have plenty of opportunities to put points on the board in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans, who are allowing an average of 30 points per game so far this season. Ryland also has the benefit of playing this week at home in Arizona, eliminating any weather concerns from the equation. The 25-year-old profiles as a low-end starting fantasy kicker option in Week 5 against Tennessee.
