2023 Season Outlooks

Butker is a top-eight kicker worthy of a pick in the final two rounds of any league that requires you to start a kicker. But injuries and inconsistency from 2022 mean he's not quite as safe a pick as he used to be. He set a career high last year in missed FGs (six) and his FG% (75%) was 13 points lower than any other year of his career. Every indication we have is that Butker will start the year as the only kicker on the Chiefs roster, but it's not inconceivable he could have competition if those struggles return. On the other hand, Butker's role on arguably the best offense in football gives him No. 1 upside at kicker.

Butker began his NFL career with five consecutive top-12 fantasy campaigns before injuries struck in 2022. Butker missed four games last season and his average of 7.5 fantasy points per game put him near midpack at the position. Accuracy was an issue for Butker for the first time in his career, as he converted a career-low 77.4% of his FG attempts. The 28-year-old had previously never been below 87.9%, so it's fair to wonder if 2022 was simply a fluke. The Chiefs haven't ranked better than 18th in FG attempts over the last three seasons, which has limited Butker's fantasy upside, so he's no more than a midrange starting option.
