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

Friday, September 26, 8:21 PM

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn hasn't been part of the problem in his team's 0-3 start, and he remains a solid starting kicker play in Week 4 in a favorable matchup against the Titans. Fairbairn has made six of his seven field goal attempts and both of his extra point attempts this season. He has three field goals from 50+ yards, but his offense hasn't given him opportunities to score many points. A struggling offense sometimes can help a kicker since they stall out and create more field goal attempts. The Titans have been a top-10 matchup for kickers this season, and kicking at home in Houston should set up well for Fairbairn in Week 4. He is the K7 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, and he is a solid starter in most formats in this favorable spot.

The New York Giants have elevated kicker Jude McAtamney to their active roster ahead of Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 25-year-old has evidently won the kicking competition over Younghoe Koo and will handle all kicking responsibilities Sunday with Graham Gano (groin) sidelined. It's a bit of a surprise out of New York, given that Koo has extensive NFL experience and McAtamney has only attempted two regular-season kicks. However, the Rutgers product also made 11 extra-point attempts during the preseason and has been with the team longer. He's off the fantasy radar due to the uncertainty surrounding him and the Jaxson Dart-led offense as a whole.
