Who Should I Start? Ka'imi Fairbairn or Jude McAtamney

Saturday, October 4, 11:45 AM

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn went 2-for-3 on field goals last week and made both his extra point attempts. He is 4-for-4 on extra point attempts this season and 8-for-10 on field goals, with both his misses coming from 50+ yards. He and the Texans knocked off the Titans 26-0 for their first win of the season last week and will look to make it two in a row as they visit the Ravens on Sunday. Fairbairn is the No. 11 kicker in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 5, and he can be a strong play against Baltimore on the road, even though he isn't in a controlled environment or backed up by an extremely productive offense right now.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney is an extremely low-floor option and should be avoided in all but the deepest fantasy formats for his Week 7 road contest. McAtamney has minimal history to rely on, having scored only nine total fantasy points across his three appearances with a 100% field goal rate on two attempts but missing an Extra Point against the Eagles. Unfortunately, the Denver Broncos are a difficult matchup for opposing kickers, as they rank 23rd in fantasy points allowed to the position, limiting kickers to a meager 9.5 points per game. Given the Giants' implied total of only 16.75 points and the Broncos' elite Red Zone Defense, which ranks 1st in the NFL, McAtamney is not projected to see the high-value scoring opportunities needed to be fantasy-relevant this week.
