2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Rebounds in loss
Fairbairn connected on three of four field-goal attempts and nailed both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.
ANALYSIS
Fairbairn, who missed a pair of field-goal tries in a Week 9 loss to Jets, rebounded with an 11-point effort, his seventh double-digit week in 10 games. His lone miss was wide left on a 56-yard attempt late in the game, which gave possession to the Lions near midfield and set up their game-winning field goal with no time left on the clock. Despite the miss, it's hard to pin this loss on Fairbairn; all finger-pointing should be directed at the defense and offense. Houston owned a 23-7 halftime lead but failed to build on that advantage and allowed Detroit to score on its final three possessions.

Fairbairn was fantastic last season and didn't miss a game, yet he only tied for 17th in fantasy scoring because of a lack of PAT volume. He made 29 of his 31 FGAs, including all six from 50-plus yards, lifting his career rate on field goals to 85.5 percent. He also hit all 24 of his PATs, giving him a career rate of 92 percent. A return to fantasy relevance could be coming in the not-so-distant future if No. 2 overall pick C.J. Stroud pans out at quarterback, but it's a longshot for Fairbairn this season with the rookie throwing to a subpar group of pass catchers and likely experiencing some growing pains.
