HARRISON BUTKER NEWS

Perfect in conference clincher Butker made his only field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

Impact Butker converted from 45 yards on his lone field goal, which, along with a handful of PATs, helped him rebound from missing twice in the divisional round. After that performance, the kicker should be confident ahead of his team's return to Tampa Bay to play in the Super Bowl. In his Week 12 outing at Raymond James Stadium, Butker made all five of his kicks for nine total points.

Misses twice in win Butker missed one of his four field-goal attempts and one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-17 AFC divisional-round win over the Browns.

Impact Butker converted from 50, 28 and 33 yards, but he missed his first PAT and hit the left upright with a 33-yarder to begin the second half. Despite putting together another double-digit point outing, Butker has now missed 10 kicks this season, giving him some vulnerability heading into Sunday's AFC Championship Game versus the Bills.

Limited to PATs Butker did not attempt a field goal but made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-21 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Butker's opportunities were limited with Kansas City's offense resting its most explosive players. With three points Sunday, Butker finished the regular season with 123 total, placing him 11th league-wide among kickers but marking a new low over his four years to date.

Minimal usage in Week 16 Butker knocked home his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point attempts in Week 16 versus the Falcons.

Impact Butker's run of perfection in the kicking game extended to six straight games Sunday, with Butker going 10-for-10 on field goals and 18-for-18 on extra points over that span. He should have a few opportunities to add to his perfect streak in the regular-season finale, but it's worth noting that the Chiefs could rest some of the usual starters with the No. 1 seed in the AFC already locked up.

Continues perfect stretch Butker connected on his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra points Sunday versus the Saints.

Impact Butker has not missed a kick in any of the last five games, hitting true on all nine of his field-goal attempts and 16 of his extra-point tries. He remains a viable fantasy option in the last two weeks of the regular season, but it's worth noting he has topped two field-goal attempts just once over the last five games.

Does what's asked of him Butker knocked home his lone field-goal attempt and all of his four extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Dolphins.

Impact While Butker's minimal usage as a field-goal kicker won't help win any fantasy leagues, he at least made his lone attempt of the day and added some extra value by converting all of his four extra-point tries. He has gone four straight weeks without misfiring on a kick after missing at least one in six of the eight games between Weeks 2 and 9. The Chiefs round out the season with a trio of opponents that are allowing average to above-average production from opposing fantasy kickers, so Butker could be in for more usage down the stretch.

Connects on five field goals Butker nailed all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's game versus the Broncos.

Impact Butker was called on for more than three attempts for the first time all season Sunday thanks to a stingy Broncos defense, and he made more than two kicks for just the third time. He only attempted one extra point on the day but served as the team's primary source of scoring, accounting for 15 of the team's 22 points on the board. With some potentially high-scoring contests rounding out the 2020 season, Butker could be in line for a strong fantasy finish.

Perfect in kicking game Butker knocked home both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts Sunday versus the Buccaneers.

Impact After a pair of zero field-goal attempt games in two of the previous three weeks, Butker made his mark again Sunday, which he needed to in a three-point win. He remains one of the best fantasy kicker options behind the league's second-highest scoring offense (31.6 points per game).

DECEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Another barren field goal day Butker didn't attempt a field goal but knocked home all of his five extra-point attempts during Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

Impact Butker has now attempted no field goals in two of the last three games after attempting at least one in each of the first seven contests and a total of 14 over that span. He was at least perfect on his extra-point tries and could be needed more frequently next week versus a Tampa Bay squad coming off of a tough loss Monday to the Rams.

Solid scoring day despite misses Butker tallied two field goals and three extra points Sunday versus the Panthers.

Impact On the downside of Butker's stat line is that he misfired on a pair of kicks, so there were potential points left off the board yet again. The fourth-year kicker missed from inside of 50 yards just once all of last season but has already done so twice and has missed six extra-point attempts after knocking home 45 of 48 in 2019. While both present a mild concern, it's not enough of an issue at this point to worry about his job security.
