In the lead-up to the AFC Championship, kickers become pivotal figures in fantasy football strategies. Tyler Bass of the Buffalo Bills stands out as a reliable option, boasting an impressive playoff record with five successful field goals and five extra points. His performance includes a prior matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he successfully scored once on a field goal while adding three extra points, showcasing his capability even against tough defenses.

Harrison Butker, the Kansas City Chiefs kicker, demonstrated his reliability in the previous week, remaining perfect in his kicks against the Texans, which included three field goals and two extra points. With the Bills' explosive offense, Butker is expected to play a crucial role in the AFC Championship, potentially contributing significant points through field goals.
