Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has the lowest field goal percentage of his career this season, connecting on just 73.9% of his attempts, and he's missed field goal attempts in two of the last three games.

Hey RotoBallers, hope all is well. Before we take a look at some dynasty trade targets, I'd like to start by saying that my thoughts have been and continue to be with Damar Hamlin and his family. After what occurred on Monday night, fantasy football took a backseat in my mind, as I'm sure it […]
