Who Should I Start? Ka'imi Fairbairn or Jason Sanders

Saturday, December 6, 6:29 AM

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn and the Texans have a huge game this week against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Fairbairn made two field goals and two extra points in his team's win over the Colts, which extended his streak to seven straight games with multiple field-goal makes. In his 10 games this season, Fairbairn has converted 27 of his 30 field-goal tries and all 16 of his extra-point attempts. He has gone 5-for-8 from 50 yards or longer, and he brings good upside even though he'll be kicking outside at Arrowhead Stadium this week. Fairbairn is the No. 8 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he's a solid start in most leagues.

According to Miami Dolphins special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman, the team is uncertain if placekicker Jason Sanders (hip) is close to a return, or if he'll even be available to play in the 2025 campaign. Sanders sustained a hip injury leading up to the start of the regular season, but it appears to be worse than initially thought, as he was expected back after Week 5 but has yet to begin practicing. Considering the team's lack of knowledge regarding his progression and Riley Patterson's excellence working in his stead, it wouldn't be surprising if the 29-year-old didn't kick again until 2026. Fantasy managers can safely drop Sanders if he was being held onto.
