2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fairbairn reestablished himself as a top fantasy kicker in 2024, bouncing back from an injury-plagued 2023 to play all 17 games and finish top 5 in field-goal attempts, made field goals and fantasy points. It was his eighth season as Houston's kicker and his first top-10 fantasy season since Deshaun Watson's prime, with Fairbairn earning every bit of it behind a 13-of-16 showing from 50-plus yards. He's always had a solid conversion rate from long range, but he had exactly six attempts from there six years in a row before leaping up to 16 50+ tries last year. While regression on the long-range volume is likely, Fairbairn will again have both job security and a generally favorable situation for fantasy production, kicking for the back-to-back AFC South champs in a weak, warm-weather division.

Signed a three-year, $15.9 million contract with the Texans in March of 2024.
Makes all kicks in Week 7
Fairbairn made both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra point try in Houston's loss versus the Seahawks on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Fairbairn connected on field goals from 46 and 36 yards, both of which came within the final three minutes of the first half. The 31-year-old is off to an efficient start this season despite a low volume of attempts, converting 13 of 15 field-goal tries and all 10 of his point-after tries.

2017
Fairbairn has been Houston's kicker ever since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2017, converting 87.1 percent of field-goal attempts and 92.4 percent of PATs across seven seasons. He led the league with 37 field goals in his second season but then faded from fantasy relevance for a few years while the Texans tried to find their footing without QB Deshaun Watson. The team rebounded in a big way last season under rookie QB C.J. Stroud, and Fairbairn went along for the ride with 9.3 fantasy points per game (third most among kickers). In addition to his solid track record for short-range accuracy, Fairbairn has made at least three kicks of 50-plus yards every season, going 29 of 40 overall (72.5 percent) from long range. He should stay busy in 2024 after the Texans added WR Stefon Diggs to an already-potent offense.
