Who Should I Start? Dustin Hopkins or Kaimi Fairbairn

Saturday, September 23, 7:34 AM

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins has been a reliable kicker for the team through the first two weeks of the season, having hit five of his six field goals and his lone extra point. He will look to keep it going at home against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. The Titans have been generous to opposing kickers thus far in 2023, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Hopkins is worth a look as a top-15 fantasy kicker in Week 3.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was perfect on field goals in Week 1, and he'll look to carry that perfection into a Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The kicker nailed three attempts from 38 yards, 36 yards, and 35 yards last week in Baltimore. It was an easy week for Fairbairn, who kicked just three short-field goals for Houston. After only missing two tries last year, the Texans' kicker is already off to a great start in 2023. But, with a rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud under center, the team could struggle offensively to get into Fairbairn's range. For now, he should only be started in deep leagues in Week 2.
