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
Misses extra point
Fairbairn converted both of his field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point kicks in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs in Week 16.
ANALYSIS
Fairbairn pushed his extra-point miss wide right, which left Houston vulnerable, down 17-16 early in the third quarter. It was his first XP miss of the season and had the potential to impact the eventual outcome. However, the Chiefs won the time-possession battle the rest of the way, and Houston's offense couldn't cash in on its lone red-zone appearance following Fairbairn's miss.

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.
