Expert
Derek Brown FantasyPros	Last year, Ka'imi Fairbairn was the K1 in fantasy points per game. He could easily repeat this feat in 2026. Last year, he was 23rd in extra point attempts, but he was tied for the league lead with 48 field goal attempts. I could see each of those numbers evening out some, but Houston's stellar defense will create plenty of short fields for Fairbairn to have field goal attempts. Last year, he was eighth in field goal % made.
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.
