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

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been locked in all season, making 29 of 32 field goal attempts and 18 extra points. The fact that he has almost twice as many field goals as extra points shows how conservative the Texans typically are on offense, as they lean into the strength of their defense to win most matchups. Fairbairn converted both of his field goals and both of his extra points in last week's win in Kansas City, and he'll have an even better matchup this week against the Cardinals, who have given up the third-most points to kickers this season. Fiarbairn also gets to kick indoors in NRG Stadium, so the weather won't be a factor. In a great environment and a favorable matchup, Fairbairn is ranked as the No. 4 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 15 rankings

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop bounced back in Week 14 with another placement in K1 territory as he finished up as the K7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He made two 36-yarders and a 28-yarder while making one of his two extra point attempts. Since the Ravens' offense put up an abysmal performance against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving, Loop's first outing against them was a disappointment. Lamar Jackson and company should be able to get back on track this time around, which lends to Loop being projected as the K10 in Week 15.
