Mason Crosby News
Tuesday, February 4, 12:39 PM
Long-time NFL kicker Mason Crosby officially announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday after a 17-year career. During Crosby's lengthy NFL career (all but one season with the Green Bay Packers), he was a Super Bowl champion, the Packers' all-time leading scorer and finished 11th all time in points in NFL history. The 40-year-old was originally a sixth-round selection by Green Bay in the 2007 NFL draft out of the University of Colorado. Despite his lengthy career, Crosby was never selected to a Pro Bowl or as an All-Pro. He finishes his career with an 81.3 success rate (400-for-492 on field goals) while making 97.2 percent of his 760 career extra-point attempts. Crosby went 44-for-80 on field goals of 50-plus yards in his career. He did not kick at all in 2024 and only played in three games in his final season in 2023 with the New York Giants.

Harrison Butker News
Saturday, September 12, 11:52 AM
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Butker finished the 2025 season as the 10th-ranked kicker in fantasy, and he may be able to eclipse that mark this season. The Kansas City offense is expected to be improved going into 2026 with the addition of star running back Kenneth Walker and the return of Patrick Mahomes from his ACL injury. Butker hit 86.8% of his field goals in 2025, lower than his career mark of 88.4%. Despite a slight regression in accuracy, Butker could improve based on volume. If the Chiefs offense does improve year over year, there will be more scoring opportunities and therefore more kicks for Butker. His road to being a valuable fantasy kicker will be tough in Week 1 against the Broncos. If the Chiefs offense is unable to move the ball much, Butker won't find himself within field goal range often. Butker is ranked K21 in our RotoBaller Week 1 rankings, likely due to the strength of the Denver defense and the projected rust of Mahomes returning. Fantasy managers may be better off looking elsewhere for a kicker, at least for Week 1.
