Harrison Butker Should Be Involved Against Commanders In Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 5:00 PM

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Washington Commanders on Monday night in Week 8. Butker converted all four of his extra-point attempts and his lone field goal attempt against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. The Chiefs kicker has missed a kick in five of seven games this season, but he's coming off a game where he went 5-for-5. Butker should be involved against the Commanders, given that the Chiefs are nearly 12-point home favorites on Monday night. The Commanders will be without their star quarterback, Jayden Daniels, which could mean more Chiefs possessions and more Butker kicks. Butker is ranked K2 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a top-end kicker option in Week 8.

Ka'imi Fairbairn a Borderline Starting Kicker in Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 10:02 AM

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn made all his kicks in Week 7, knocking through two field goals and two extra points. His team's offense struggled to get much going on the road in Seattle, but he continues to make the most of his chances when he gets them. On the season, the 31-year-old is 13-for-15 on field goal attempts and 10-for-10 on extra points. He has made five field goals of 50+ yards, and both his misses came from that long range as well. Fairbairn and the Texans are at home against the 49ers this week, but the 49ers have allowed the fourth-fewest points this season to kickers. Despite the tough matchup, Fairbairn is the No. 13 kicker in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a startable option in standard leagues even though he isn't an elite play this week.
