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

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn had made 11 of his 13 field goal attempts this season and all nine of his extra point attempts. He and the Texans return from their bye week to face the Seahawks on Monday night, so he'll be kicking outside in the weather. Both of his misses this year have come from over 50 yards out, but he has also converted five kicks of 50+ yards. In week 5, he went a perfect 3-for-3 with two field goals from over 50 yards and made all five of his extra points as the Texans rolled past the Ravens, 44-10. The Seahawks have been one of the 10 toughest matchups for kickers, but Fairbairn is still reliable enough to be the K9 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.

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.
