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

Friday, November 28, 8:09 PM

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.

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.
