Who Should I Start? Harrison Butker or Joshua Karty

Wednesday, November 26, 5:41 PM

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is 9-for-9 on field goals in the last three games, and he'll look to continue that streak against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Butker has struggled with accuracy this season, but his recent stretch of success has brought his season 87.5% field goal percentage closer to his career average of 88.5%. The Chiefs kicker should find plenty of opportunities to extend his field goal streak against the Cowboys in a game with a 52.5 O/U. The Dallas offense is one of the highest-scoring units in the league, and the Chiefs will need to score often to keep pace. Butker is ranked K11 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a borderline K1 in Week 13.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty is facing competition for the starting kicking gig, according to head coach Sean McVay. The organization will have Harrison Mevis compete for the kicking job with Karty ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Karty had a strong rookie campaign where he connected on 84.3 percent of his field goal attempts. The 23-year-old is having a much more difficult time during his sophomore season. Karty is 10-for-15 on field goal attempts, while missing three additional extra point kicks. Mevis hasn't kicked in the NFL before and was signed onto the practice squad this week. Neither kicker is an ideal option for the Week 10 contest against the 49ers.
