Who Should I Start? Ka'imi Fairbairn or Riley Patterson

Wednesday, November 5, 4:07 PM

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quad) is not expected to play in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. It's unclear when Fairbairn suffered the injury, but it is severe enough to sideline him for at least a week. Fairbairn has been excellent this season, making a league-high 22 field goals. The 32-year-old's status will continue to be monitored over the next week, while Matthew Wright will take over the kicking duties for Sunday.

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson was signed to the active roster before Week 4's win over the Jets and will continue to fill in for as long as Jason Sanders (hip) remains sidelined. Patterson has connected on all four of his field goal attempts and all nine of his extra points this season. He hasn't attempted anything from beyond 50 yards, and the Dolphins' offense has struggled, which has limited his opportunities. He is in a favorable environment and matchup this week, though, so he's a workable bye week fill-in if you need him. He's the No. 18 K in RotoBaller's rankings, so he works as an option in deep leagues if you're desperate.
