Who Should I Start? Harrison Butker or Joshua Karty

Saturday, October 18, 1:49 AM

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Butker knocked through his only field goal attempt from 33 yards away towards the end of the fourth quarter of Week 6. The Chiefs kicker has been relatively productive on the backs of Kansas City's offensive resurgence, but he hasn't been impressive. Butker has missed at least one kick in five of six games this season, and his FG% this year is nearly 10% lower than his career average. Despite his struggles, Butker should be in play again with the Chiefs tied for the highest implied team total this week against the Raiders. The Chiefs are massive home favorites, and Butker should get plenty of opportunities to cash in. Butker is ranked K6 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a good start at the position.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty has struggled with field goals in recent weeks, and as a result, he has slipped off the fantasy radar heading into Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Karty is just 2-for-4 on field goals over his last two games, and he's 8-for-12 over his last four. He has just one made field goal from beyond 50 yards this year. Furthermore, he has missed two extra-point attempts. All in all, the results have been disappointing from Karty, who ranks as the overall K22 in his second pro season. It's not like Week 7 is a get-right opportunity for him, either. The Jaguars have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2025. He should be left on waivers in most leagues.
