Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been one of the best fantasy kickers in the NFL this season, and he remains a clear starter with Houston at Green Bay in Week 7. Fantasy managers who selected the Houston kicker have seen consistent production so far. The UCLA product is 13-for-15 on field goals, an impressive eight-for-nine on attempts from 50 or more yards, and the third-ranked fantasy kicker through six weeks. Attached to a capable Houston offense, Fairbairn should stay in starting lineups in Week 7.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated rookie kicker Spencer Shrader and cornerback Chris Lammons from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Saturday in advance of the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday against the division-rival Houston Texans. This is a clear sign that starting kicker Matt Gay (hernia), who is listed as questionable for Week 1, will end up being inactive on Sunday morning after he recently underwent surgery for a sports hernia. Gay is questionable to kick on Sunday, but he missed practice all week and is probably more doubtful than anything. Fantasy managers that were planning to use Gay in Week 1 should have already been looking for other options this weekend. Rolling with Shrader in his first NFL game would be unwise given all the other options available on the waiver wire.
