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.	Will Lutz has been steady in his three seasons with the Broncos, making 89.0% of his field goals and 98.3% of his extra points over that span. Unfortunately, Lutz has not been awash in field goal opportunities since coming to Denver, with the Broncos ranking 14th, 16th and 19th in FG attempts the last three seasons. Lutz has finished 22nd, eighth and 16th in fantasy scoring among kickers over that span.
