Texans
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.

Another Good Matchup For Houston Kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn remains the overall No. 1 fantasy option at his position with another favorable matchup on Monday against the Dallas Cowboys. The Houston kicker is up to 11 made field goals from beyond 50 yards already, which ties the NFL record in a season with two more months still to go. Houston will take on a Cowboys defense that is allowing opponents to score on 46.5% of drives, which is worse than everyone except Carolina, and could be even further stressed due to their offense's struggles without quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring). Fairbairn should be in all starting lineups against Dallas.

Ka'imi Fairbairn A Rebound Candidate In Week 10
Coming off his first game of the season with two missed field goals, Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn will look to rebound in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Even after a lackluster performance against the New York Jets, the veteran kicker still ranks first at his position, is perfect on extra points, and has converted 21 of 25 field goal attempts, which includes 10 made kicks beyond 50 yards. An indoor game with shootout potential this week warrants starting Fairbairn again, even after a shaky performance.

Ka'imi Fairbairn Misses Two Field Goals In Loss
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn had a rough outing on Thursday night along with the rest of the team in the 21-13 loss to the New York Jets. The 30-year-old made a 29 and 54-yarder as well as an extra point but missed a 27 and 56-yarder. This was the first game all season that Fairbairn missed more than one field goal which brings his overall percentage down to 84.0%. He'll look to bounce back in a Sunday night game against the Detroit Lions in Week 10.

Ka'imi Fairbairn An Elite Option Versus Green Bay
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been one of the best fantasy kickers in the NFL this season, and he remains a clear starter with Houston at Green Bay in Week 7. Fantasy managers who selected the Houston kicker have seen consistent production so far. The UCLA product is 13-for-15 on field goals, an impressive eight-for-nine on attempts from 50 or more yards, and the third-ranked fantasy kicker through six weeks. Attached to a capable Houston offense, Fairbairn should stay in starting lineups in Week 7.
