Who Should I Start? Harrison Butker or Harrison Mevis

Saturday, November 1, 5:23 AM

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Butker is coming off his third game of the season without missing a kick. The Chiefs' kicker has attempted at least 4 extra-point attempts in each of the last five games and made 19/20 (95%), giving him a solid floor to build on. Butker should be utilized often in this game with a nearly 53-point total, which is the second-highest total in Week 9. Butker is ranked K9 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a startable fantasy kicker this week.

The Los Angeles Rams will go with Harrison Mevis as their placekicker in Week 10 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Joshua Karty is now the No. 2 kicker, although the Rams will play the kicking situation on a week-to-week basis right now. Atkins writes that the Rams like Mevis for his big leg after he had success in the USFL. Los Angeles signed Mevis to their practice squad earlier this week to compete with the struggling Karty, who has gone 10-for-15 on his field-goal attempts this year and 23-for-26 on extra-point tries in eight games in his second year in the NFL. If it doesn't work out with Mevis, the Rams can turn back to Karty or bring in another kicker from outside the organization. If Mevis proves himself worthy of keeping the job, he could quickly garner fantasy attention in all leagues.
