Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Ka'imi Fairbairn

Saturday, November 22, 9:59 AM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is coming off his best game of the season in Week 11, knocking down four of five field goals, including the game-winner to beat the division rival Minnesota Vikings. It's been an up-and-down year for Santos, who's fought through injuries and kicker controversy with Jake Moody earlier in the year. With Moody in Washington and the injuries behind the veteran kicker, Santos will look to fire off a strong finish to his 12th season. He faces a great matchup in Week 12, against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to kickers this season. With good weather expected and a ton of confidence, Santos is worth starting in Week 12.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn returned from a two-week absence due to a quad injury last week and looked solid in his team's win over the Bills. This week, he'll take on the Colts indoors at Lucas Oil Stadium in a divisional contest. Against the Bills, he made all three of his field goal attempts with a long of 43 yards, along with a pair of extra points. In each of his last six games, the 31-year-old from Hawaii has now made multiple field goals, including 12 total field goals in his last three games. For the season, he is 25-for-28 on field goal attempts, including 5-for-8 from at least 50 yards. He's also made 14 extra points in his nine contests this season. This week, he's the No. 9 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings.
