Harrison Butker News
Friday, October 2, 11:26 AM
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. Butker has now missed field goals in back-to-back games, but has not missed an extra-point attempt all season. The Chiefs will have their work cut out for them against a tough Raiders defense, so Butker should play a vital role in the matchup. Butker is ranked K5 in our RotoBaller Week 4 rankings, making him one of the best options to start at the position this week. The Chiefs kicker should be depended upon throughout the game and fantasy managers should feel confident with him in their lineups, despite his recent struggles.

Jake Bates News
Friday, October 2, 5:44 PM
Three games into his 2026 season, Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates has connected on all three of his field goal attempts and converted all 12 of his extra point tries. While the 27-year-old has been effective so far and Detroit is averaging 31 points per game, Bates' fantasy production has been held down by the Lions' touchdown-scoring efficiency so far in 2026. In Week 4, Detroit will travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers. While the matchup profiles as a potentially high-scoring affair on paper, the weather forecast in Charlotte on Sunday currently calls for rain and some wind. If the elements are indeed a factor, fantasy managers should try to avoid Bates in Week 4.
