Harrison Butker

Harrison Butker has become a less dependable fantasy kicker in recent years. It's not because Butker has been substantially less accurate. It's because the Kansas City offense has been scoring fewer touchdowns in recent years, giving Butker fewer freebie extra points. In Butker's first five seasons, from 2017 to 2021, he averaged 3.0 extra points per game. In 2022 and 2023, Butker averaged 2.5 extra points per game. In 2024 and 2025, Butker averaged 2.0 extra points a game. Butker's yearly finished in fantasy points per game among kickers: second, sixth, second, 13th, ninth, 20th, 10th, 26th, 15th. The Chiefs offense might not be among the NFL's most explosive in 2026 with Patrick Mahomes coming off a major knee injury. Consider Butker a second-tier kicker option.

Harrison Butker connected on 4-of-4 field goals in the Chiefs 14-12 loss to the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

Butker connected on field goals from 36, 40, 41, and 47 to account for all of the scoring for the Chiefs Sunday. The veteran kicker remains under contract with the Chiefs for 2026 and should remain one of the top options at the position for fantasy managers.
