Texans
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn had a rough day in the team's 23-14 defeat in the Divisional Round at Kansas City, making only two of his four field-goal attempts and missing his only extra point. The veteran converted from 30 and 48 yards, but badly missed on a 55-yarder in the first half, pushed an extra point wide on Houston's lone touchdown, and had a low kick blocked in the Texans' last-ditch attempt to get back into the game. It would have taken a special effort for Houston to unseat the defending champs, but between Fairbairn's bad day and the offensive line surrendering eight sacks, the Texans weren't able to do enough as their year ends in the Divisional Round for the second straight season.

Rough Road Ahead For Ka'imi Fairbairn
Coming off 12 points in the Wild Card round, Ka'imi Fairbairn faces what is likely the toughest matchup for any starting kicker this weekend when the underdog Houston Texans travel to Kansas City in the Divisional Round. The Chiefs were one of the worst draws for fantasy kickers during the regular season, ranking No. 2 overall against them, while Houston's offense is averaging just 19 offensive points per game since the start of December. Additionally, temperatures are expected to be well below freezing on Saturday, a poor setting for field-goal kicking. All together, Fairbairn is attached to an average offense as a road underdog in bad conditions, which means managers in DFS formats should try for another option if possible.

Perfect Outing For Ka'imi Fairbairn In Wild-Card Victory
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was perfect in his team's 32-12 Wild Card victory against the Los Angeles Chargers, converting all three of his field goal attempts and all three extra points to help Houston advance. The longtime Texans kicker made easy work of a range of short and midrange field goals, making kicks from 41, 37, and 30 yards as Houston held the lead for the entire second half. The 30-year-old will have at least one more game as the Texans' win secured a place in the Divisional Round next week.

Tough Matchup For Ka'imi Fairbairn In Wild Card Round
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn will face a difficult matchup in round one of the NFL playoffs when his team plays host to the Los Angeles Chargers on Wild Card Weekend. L.A. is one of the stronger teams against fantasy kickers, ranking seventh, but the bigger concern has been the offense to which Fairbairn is attached. The Houston offense has averaged a paltry 15.6 points across its past five games prior to the playoffs, which included the offense failing to score on Christmas Day against Baltimore. The Texans' recent performances and a Chargers defense that ranks fourth in scoring percentage allowed do not bode well for the veteran kicker. Managers in playoff formats should look for a stronger matchup elsewhere.

Ka'imi Fairbairn Avoidable In Regular-Season Finale
Though Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been a top-tier fantasy option this season, he should be avoided in a dodgy Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The veteran has an OK matchup against a Titans team that ranks right in the middle against fantasy kickers, but he comes with risk due to Houston's playoff positioning. The Texans already have locked down the AFC South and the No. 4 seed, so Sunday's results have no effect on them. Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans said he intends to start the team's regulars, but with much bigger fish to fry next week and nothing to gain Sunday, he certainly will be thinking ahead. As a result, Fairbairn's DFS value in Week 18 has to be tied to the likelihood he will be attached to a second-string offense at some point in the game.

Great Matchup For Ka'imi Fairbairn In Week 17
An already great fantasy season for Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has a chance to be even better with a superb matchup against Baltimore in Week 17. The 30-year-old is the overall No. 3 at his position, and in the Super Bowl week for many fantasy leagues, he'll take on a Ravens team that ranks 29th against fantasy kickers. Fairbairn has a whopping 11 top-10 finishes among kickers this year and already has set the NFL record for most made field goals from beyond 50 yards. There's never a guarantee with kickers, but managers have to like this strong matchup at a great time.

Ka'imi Fairbairn In Starter Territory At Kansas City
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is yet again a top kicking option with his team set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. The UCLA product is coming off back-to-back perfect weeks, has not missed an extra point this season, and is the overall No. 2 at his position for fantasy points. Kansas City ranks a sturdy fourth against fantasy kickers, but 13 of Fairbairn's 33 made field goals have come from beyond 50 yards this season, making him fantasy relevant week-in and week-out. He's a worthy starting option for managers in the playoffs.

Ka'imi Fairbairn A Starting Option Against Dolphins
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is once again a starting-caliber option as the Texans prepare to take on Miami in Week 15. The overall No. 2 fantasy kicker wobbled a bit with a devastating short-yardage miss in Week 12, but rebounded with a three-for-three performance in Week 13 prior to Houston's bye last week. Miami ranks 13th against fantasy kickers, and an indoor setting attached to the Houston offense is still a pretty good draw. Fairbairn should be considered a mid-range starter this week.

Favorable Conditions For Texans’ Ka'imi Fairbairn Against Jags
Kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn of the Houston Texans enters Week 13 against Jacksonville coming off one of the worst missed field goals of the year, an uncharacteristically pulled chip shot that would have tied the game in an eventual 32-27 defeat to Tennessee. The UCLA product is now 82% on field goal attempts this year, which is 21st among kickers but his volume still makes him the overall No. 1 fantasy kicker and a clear starter again. Nobody has attempted more field goals or made more from beyond 50-plus yards than Fairbairn, and the Jags have allowed more fantasy points to kickers than anyone. Contending fantasy managers still should keep an eye on waiver wire kickers, especially with Houston on a bye in Week 14.

Productive Ka'imi Fairbairn An Easy Starting Option Again
Kicker Ka'imi Fairbarin of the Houston Texans remains a clear starter once again as his team prepares to take on the slumping Tennessee Titans in Week 12. The longtime Texans kicker has logged at least two made field goals in seven consecutive games, and nobody in the NFL has made more kicks from beyond 50 yards this season. Nine of his 11 kicks from 50-plus yards were indoors, and the Texans find themselves playing their first of two matchups with the Titans at home this week. At this point, Fairbairn is an every-game starter while attached to a talented Houston offense.
