Who Should I Start? Kaimi Fairbairn or Greg Joseph

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was perfect on field goals in Week 1, and he'll look to carry that perfection into a Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The kicker nailed three attempts from 38 yards, 36 yards, and 35 yards last week in Baltimore. It was an easy week for Fairbairn, who kicked just three short-field goals for Houston. After only missing two tries last year, the Texans' kicker is already off to a great start in 2023. But, with a rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud under center, the team could struggle offensively to get into Fairbairn's range. For now, he should only be started in deep leagues in Week 2.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph looks like a risky streaming option in Week 4 as the Vikings take on the Panthers. Joseph hasn't had many opportunities to kick through the first three games of the season, as he has only attempted two field goals, connecting on both of them. The 29-year-old has relied on extra-point attempts to save his fantasy production, but there could be reason to believe the Vikings will need to rely on him this week as the Panthers have had a solid pass defense so far this season. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution, but Joseph has shown the ability to be a reliable option in the past.
