Who Should I Start? Harrison Butker or Riley Patterson

Saturday, November 15, 5:23 AM

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 11. Butker is coming off the team's Week 10 bye, but found success heading into the break. Butker has gone 2-for-2 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra-point attempts in his last two games, marking the first time this season he's been perfect in two straight games. Butker may be less involved against a strong Denver defense, which should be able to limit Kansas City's scoring opportunities. This Chiefs matchup also has a 44.5 O/U, putting it on the lower end of the spectrum this week. Butker is ranked K13 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a viable start, but there are likely better options out there.

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson is a fringe starting option this week as the Dolphins face the Commanders in Madrid. Patterson made a 46-yard field goal in his only field goal attempt last week against the Bills, but he did miss an extra point attempt for the first time this season. He's 14-for-16 on field-goal attempts on the year, missing his only try from longer than 50 yards. Before last week's miss, he was perfect on extra points, and he's now 22-for-23. The Commanders have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to kickers this season, and the stadium in Madrid has a retractable roof that should keep the weather from being a factor. Patterson is the No. 17 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings, making him a potential fill-in starter if needed and a solid option even though he doesn't have elite distance or upside.
