Spencer Shrader Fantasy Overview

Colts K Spencer Shrader left in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Raiders with a right leg injury. He was ruled out for the game before the end of the first half. That bodes ill for his chances of playing in Week 6. We'll see about an official diagnosis and return timeline.

Chiefs K Spencer Schrader (hamstring) is out for Friday's game vs. the Raiders. He'll be replaced by K Matthew Wright, who's a viable Week 13 fantasy play with the Chiefs sporting the week's second-highest implied total (27.75 points).

Chiefs K Spencer Shrader (hamstring) did not practice on Tuesday. The team signed K Matthew Wright to the practice squad, suggesting real concern about Shrader's availability for Friday's game vs. the Raiders. We'll keep you updated on the situation. With Kansas City sporting a 27.5-point implied total, whoever is kicking for the Chiefs will be a viable Week 13 fantasy play.

The Chiefs are placing K Harrison Butker on IR, knocking him out for the next four games, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Butker is undergoing surgery to trim the meniscus in his left knee, "though he'll be back for the home stretch and playoffs." Butker can be dropped in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. He sits outside the top 10 kickers in points per game in most scoring formats. The Chiefs are signing K Spencer Shrader off the Jets' practice squad to replace Butker, per Schefter. Schrader made both of his FG attempts for the Jets last week. We'd look elsewhere for a Week 11 fantasy kicker considering the Chiefs' matchup against a strong Bills defense,
