Kansas City Chiefs
2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Butker leads the NFL in PATs over the last four years, but his field-goal numbers have dipped a bit with the Chiefs becoming more aggressive on fourth down. The sixth-year pro has converted at least 88.9 percent of his field-goal attempts every season, and last year he had a career-high seven makes from 50-plus yards. It could actually work in Butker's favor if the offense takes a slight step back without WR Tyreek Hill.
Butker slid to ninth in kicker fantasy scoring last season, down from third and first in the first two years of the Patrick Mahomes era. He missed six PATs but only two field goals, with his dip in production caused by reduced opportunity rather than poor performance. Part of the issue was Butker's team scoring so many long TDs, but that's a minor hassle compared to all the benefits of playing on a team with Mahomes.
No. 2 on the all-time FG accuracy list (89.7 percent) is also No. 2 in our rankings. A dominant Chiefs offense allowed Butker to lead the league in PATs in 2018 and field goals made in 2019. The composition of his production might have been different, but the result was back-to-back top-3 fantasy finishes. Expect more of the same as long as Patrick Mahomes stays healthy.
Butker predictably lost some of his ridiculous FG volume from 2017, making up for it with the league lead in PATs. He now figures to bounce back the other way, as even Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are unlikely to sustain last year's 73.1 percent red-zone TD rate (third highest in the NFL since 2015). Regardless of the FG/PAT split, Butker is a good kicker with strong job security in a great offense.
Selected by Carolina at the end of last year's draft, Butker lost a camp battle to Graham Gano, then tied for sixth place on the NFL's single-season FGs list after making his pro debut in Week 4 for the Chiefs. It was the perfect storm of accurate kicking combined with an offense that ranked fifth in yards but 29th in red-zone TD percentage. Regression is almost inevitable, but the Chiefs still figure to move the ball.
Drafted in the seventh round this year, Butker is being brought in to compete with kicker Graham Gano. The veteran has been with the Panthers since 2012, but he's coming off heel surgery this offseason, which followed the only campaign in which he converted under 80 percent of Carolina's field-goal attempts. Gano's misses included a few crucial kicks, so Butker could take advantage of his recent problems to make the team during training camp.
