Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros	Ka'imi Fairbairn led the league in field goals attempted (48) and field goals made (44) last season despite missing two games with a quad injury. Fairbairn led all kickers with 12.9 fantasy points per game in 2025, finishing a full point ahead of runner-up Jason Myers. The dependable nine-year veteran has converted 91.3% of his FG tries and 97.3% of his PATs over the last four years. Fairbairn is accurate from long distance, converting 51-of-69 (73.9%) of his career FG attempts from 50 yards or longer. With one of the top defenses in the league and a flawed offense, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans isn't one to turn up his nose at the chance to put three points on the board. The Texans' 52 team FG attempts ranked first in the league in 2025, and they tied for fourth in that category in 2024 with 42 FG attempts. Fairbairn is a low-risk, high-upside kicker option.	After converting only 72.7% of his field goal attempts in 2024, five-year veteran Evan McPherson had a career-best 89.3% FG accuracy rate in 2025, hitting 25-of-28 attempts. McPherson finished 14th among kickers in fantasy scoring last year and hasn't finished in the top 10 since his 2021 rookie season. But if Bengals QB Joe Burrow, who missed nine games last season, enjoys a season of good health, McPherson should have his fair share of FG and PAT opportunities.
