Who Should I Start? Ka'imi Fairbairn or Jake Moody

Wednesday, November 5, 4:07 PM

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quad) is not expected to play in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. It's unclear when Fairbairn suffered the injury, but it is severe enough to sideline him for at least a week. Fairbairn has been excellent this season, making a league-high 22 field goals. The 32-year-old's status will continue to be monitored over the next week, while Matthew Wright will take over the kicking duties for Sunday.

Chicago Bears kicker Jake Moody was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Moody was close to perfect in his Bears debut in Week 6 against Washington, nailing his lone extra point and hitting four of five field goals, including a 38-yarder as time expired to give the Bears their third win of the season. His 48-yard field goal to start the fourth quarter was blocked, but it was otherwise a great debut for Moody, who has had his struggles in San Francisco. He projects again as a decent option in Week 7 with the Chicago offense improving each week.
