Who Should I Start? Kaimi Fairbairn or Tanner Brown

Friday, October 18, 1:12 PM

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 Los Angeles Rams signed kicker Tanner Browns to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The 24-year-old went unselected in last year's NFL Draft out of Oklahoma State and has been on and off the L.A. roster since signing with the organization after the draft. Starting kicker Joshua Karty has made all three of his field goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries to begin the year, so it's unclear whether Brown will be given a chance to earn the starting role. Either way, the Rams offense is likely to struggle with Puka Nacua (knee), Cooper Kupp (foot), and several offensive linemen on the shelf, so he would not be an attractive fantasy kicker option if he plays anytime soon.
