Dec 21, 2021

The Kansas City Chiefs could be without kicker Harrison Butker when they face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16 on Sunday.

After his placement on the COVID reserve list, along with many others, Butker is among the group of players for whom they’ll need to “wait and see” concerning their availability after mid-week testing.

On Monday, Butker was among the newer players added to the list, including cornerback Charvarius Ward and tight end Travis Kelce. If there’s at least a ray of hope, it can be found in the following: he was suffering from just cold-like symptoms according to the site. Fry would do the kicking for the Chiefs according to the story.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
