Who Should I Start? Spencer Shrader or Jude McAtamney

Friday, November 15, 12:27 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs officially signed rookie kicker Spencer Shrader to their active 53-man roster on Friday from the New York Jets' practice squad and officially placed kicker Harrison Butker (knee) on Injured Reserve. Shrader will get the first crack at replacing Butker as KC's primary kicker moving forward. With Butker on IR, he will be required to miss at least the next four games. Shrader, an undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, has kicked in two games in his first year in the NFL -- one with the Jets and one with the Indianapolis Colts -- making both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points. The 25-year-old made 68.3 percent of his field goals in college and will not be a recommended streaming option at the position in his first game with the Chiefs in a Week 11 showdown on the road against the Buffalo Bills.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants are having trouble keeping kickers healthy as they're now on the third kicker. Graham Gano (quad) suffered an injury during the season opener which allowed Greg Joseph (abdomen) to get into the picture, but now he's on the injured reserve. The assumption is that McAtamney will remain the kicker for a few games, assuming he does well. He won't be an ideal streaming option given the Giants struggles on offense this season.
