Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker joined in on the team's uncharacteristic woes in last Monday's 20-14 loss to the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, sinking both of his extra-point attempts but missing his lone field-goal try. Butker had been flawless on kicks from last year's Super Bowl up until Week 14 of this season, but the 28-year-old has now missed two boots in his last two weeks. With K.C.'s scuffling offense netting just 19.4 points per game through their last eight contests, Butker has secured a single-digit fantasy outcome just twice over this period. The Chiefs next welcome in the Cincinnati Bengals, who have surrendered the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers on the campaign. Butker should be treated as a top-10 choice in Sunday's plus draw for title-hopeful fantasy rosters.

The Athletic's Mark Kaboly writes that the biggest hurdle in free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd joining the Pittsburgh Steelers are the Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets. The Jets are considered a dark horse as they look to give quarterback Aaron Rodgers another receiving target. The 29-year-old veteran slot receiver has taken a back seat to both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in recent seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, but Boyd did have back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in Cincy in 2018 and 2019 and could see his fantasy stock be revived with a new club in 2024. The most intriguing landing spot would of course be with the Super Bowl-champion Chiefs, where he'd be the No. 3 target behind Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice.
