Who Should I Start? Kaimi Fairbairn or Jake Moody

Thursday, September 14, 6:47 PM

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.

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will be worthy of fantasy lineups in Week 4 when the team hosts the Arizona Cardinals. Moody remained perfect for his career last week when he made field goals of 28, 21, and 36 yards and hit all three of his extra point chances. In total this year, he is nine-for-nine in field goals and nine-for-nine in extra points, good for second in total fantasy points among NFL kickers. Arizona's defense is seventh-worst in yards per game, so the excellent 49ers offense should spend significant time in Cardinals territory. With the forecast clear and a plus-matchup, fantasy managers should feel comfortable rolling into Week 4 with Moody.
