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

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn had a rough day in the team's 23-14 defeat in the Divisional Round at Kansas City, making only two of his four field-goal attempts and missing his only extra point. The veteran converted from 30 and 48 yards, but badly missed on a 55-yarder in the first half, pushed an extra point wide on Houston's lone touchdown, and had a low kick blocked in the Texans' last-ditch attempt to get back into the game. It would have taken a special effort for Houston to unseat the defending champs, but between Fairbairn's bad day and the offensive line surrendering eight sacks, the Texans weren't able to do enough as their year ends in the Divisional Round for the second straight season.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants are having trouble keeping kickers healthy as they're now on the third kicker. Graham Gano (quad) suffered an injury during the season opener which allowed Greg Joseph (abdomen) to get into the picture, but now he's on the injured reserve. The assumption is that McAtamney will remain the kicker for a few games, assuming he does well. He won't be an ideal streaming option given the Giants struggles on offense this season.
