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,
