Who Should I Start? Ka'imi Fairbairn or Tyler Bass

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.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that kicker Tyler Bass (groin, hip) is "moving in the right direction," but the team is unsure when he will return from Injured Reserve, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Bass will have to miss at least one more game while on IR, but he'll be eligible to make his 2025 debut in Week 5 against the division-rival New England Patriots. Given the fact that there's still no timetable on the 28-year-old's return, it seems unlikely he'll play next week. The Bills have been using veteran Matt Prater with Bass sidelined. Prater was perfect in the first two weeks before missing one of his two field-goal attempts last Thursday night in the win over the Miami Dolphins. The 41-year-old will be a strong starting kicking option in fantasy lineups again in Week 4 in a matchup against the 0-3 New Orleans Saints.
