Who Should I Start? Harrison Butker or Will Reichard

Wednesday, November 26, 5:41 PM

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is 9-for-9 on field goals in the last three games, and he'll look to continue that streak against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Butker has struggled with accuracy this season, but his recent stretch of success has brought his season 87.5% field goal percentage closer to his career average of 88.5%. The Chiefs kicker should find plenty of opportunities to extend his field goal streak against the Cowboys in a game with a 52.5 O/U. The Dallas offense is one of the highest-scoring units in the league, and the Chiefs will need to score often to keep pace. Butker is ranked K11 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a borderline K1 in Week 13.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard should be regarded as a No. 2 kicker option in Week 12, which should keep him off the starting radar in most formats. The former Alabama standout has put together an excellent second season in Minnesota by making 19 of 21 field goal attempts and all 19 extra points, but the Vikings' offense has sputtered in the past two weeks. Starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy is completing just more than half of his passes and has thrown five interceptions in the past three games, which has naturally limited the offense. While tied to a struggling offense facing a road game against one of the NFL's better defenses, Reichard can be stashed in Week 12 with more favorable matchups on the horizon.
