Who Should I Start? Harrison Butker or Wil Lutz

Monday, October 30, 1:01 AM

Kansas City Chiefs Harrison Butker (illness) overcame his illness and kept the team's lethargic offense afloat in Week 8's ugly 24-9 defeat to the division-rival Denver Broncos, drilling three field goals and accounting for all nine of the team's points. The Chiefs may have dropped their first game to Denver since 2015, but not by the hands of Butker's afternoon. The 28-year-old's effort was highlighted by booting a 56-yard try past the uprights before halftime, keeping him a perfect 18-of-18 on field goals this season. Butker's was K.C.'s leading fantasy scorer on Sunday, which should tell you all you need to know about how rough a day it was for them. The seventh-year man hopes his squad gets back on track in Week 9's International Series affair in Frankfurt against the 6-2 Miami Dolphins and their world-beating offense.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz (hip) stayed limited at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Lutz is dealing with a right-hip injury heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Houston Texans on the road. A full practice on Friday would give Lutz a great chance at serving as the starting kicker for the Broncos this Sunday. The 29-year-old has been very accurate in his first season in Denver, missing just two of his 26 field-goal attempts on the year. He wasn't much of a fantasy asset for the first half of the year, but Denver's offense has been much more productive during their current five-game winning streak, affording Lutz 17 field-goal tries over that span. Entering this weekend's contest in Houston, Lutz is on the streaming radar at the position if he's able to play.
