Ka'imi Fairbairn Fantasy

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (groin) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Fairbairn will be sidelined for at least three weeks after sustaining a groin injury before the team's final preseason game. The 27-year-old has started all 16 games for the Texans in each of his four seasons in Houston, enjoying his best season in 2018 while going 37 of 42 on field-goal attempts and 39 of 41 on extra-point attempts for a top finish among fantasy kickers. The Texans signed former Panther Joey Slye to the practice squad on Tuesday. Slye finished as a top-eight kicking option in 2019 but will have limited upside if he wins the kicking job in Houston, given that their offense isn't likely to be a productive one in 2021.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn gets a middle-of-the-pack matchup in Week 10 against Cleveland. Fairbairn has made at least two field goals and two extra points in two straight games, giving him a nice floor for fantasy managers. He may not possess the upside of other kickers, though Houston's offense does have the potential to put up points on the Browns Defense this week. Roll with Fairbairn in Week 10 as a dependable option.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn made both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra points in a 27-25 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fairbairn hit from 54 yards, his second make of the season on three attempts from 50 yards and out. The veteran kicker could have had an even bigger day were it not for his explosive offense, which scored 27 points on just two red-zone trips. Fairbairn will look to keep rolling against the Browns in Week 10.
