Harrison Butker Worth Starting Against Lions

Saturday, October 11, 2:20 AM

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Detroit Lions on Sunday night in Week 6. Butker is coming off an underwhelming performance, where he knocked through four extra points and attempted zero field goals. The Chiefs scored 28 points on four touchdowns, leaving Butker with just PATs. This week's matchup against Detroit should grant Butker far more opportunities to score. The Lions are averaging 34.8 points per game this season, the highest in the league. If Kansas City wants to win this game, they will likely have to put up as many points as possible against Detroit. Butker likely won't go two games in a row without a field goal attempt, and he should have more than a few extra-point attempts as well. Butker is ranked K6 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a strong start this week.

Matt Gay A Strong Start at Kicker in Week 2

Wednesday, September 10, 5:43 PM

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay did not attempt a field goal in their 21-6 Week 1 against the Giants, but converted all three extra points. Gay likely would have had a field goal opportunity at the end of the first half, but Washington was called for an intentional grounding penalty with a handful of seconds left and no timeouts left, leaving the clock to run out. The offense had other sloppy moments that ended potential scoring drives early, but still moved the ball at will. In a projected shootout on Thursday night in Green Bay, Gay should be fired up as one of the top kicker options in Week 2.
