2024 Fantasy Outlook
Butker ranks second to only Justin Tucker in career FG percentage (89.1) and has ranked Top 10 at his position in fantasy scoring five times in seven pro seasons. Butker's list of clutch kicks in the playoffs puts him in Adam Vinatieri range, and his consistent work in the regular season includes a 70 percent conversion rate on tries of 50-plus yards. The Chiefs tend to be good at converting scoring chances into TDs rather than field goals, but that wasn't the case in 2023 (19th in red-zone TD rate) and coach Andy Reid has never been particularly aggressive with his fourth-down and two-point decisions. In other words, Butker is the safest kicker choice after Tucker, with not much gap between the two. Read Past Outlooks
Has surgery, no timeline for return
Coach Andy Reid said that Butker underwent surgery on his injured left knee Friday and doesn't have a timeline for his return to action, Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid confirmed that Butker hurt his knee in practice this week, resulting in his placement on injured reserve Friday. "(He) tried to go on Thursday," Reid told Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com. "(He) wasn't able to do it." Reid also confirmed that Butker had a repair of the meniscus in his left knee, according to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. For as long as Butker is sidelined, Spencer Shrader will handle kicking duties for the Chiefs.

An ankle injury cost Butker four games last season and perhaps contributed to a career-low 75 percent conversion rate on field goals, but he's back near the top of the kicker rankings after a strong finish to the year capped by a near-perfect postseason (6 of 7 on FGs, 10 of 10 on PATs). He's fourth on the all-time FG percentage list (88.2) even after the down year, and perhaps more important is still attached to Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce ... plus an excellent offensive line. If nothing else, Butker should be among the league leaders in PATs, and he's already shown range to 62 yards on the rare occasions when the Chiefs need heroics from their placekicker.
