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
Expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks
Butker is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks due to a left knee injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Pelissero, Butker is likely headed to IR as a result of a knee issue that surfaced on Thursday's injury report and is slated to result in the kicker having a procedure to clean up his meniscus, per Pelissero. In Butker's anticipated absence, the Chiefs are expected to sign Spencer Shrader off the Jets' practice squad to fill in as their placekicker, according to Pelissero.

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.
