Fairbairn hit all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders. The kicker's field goals came from 55, 50 and 49 yards, respectively. Fairbairn has only missed four kicks this year, all field goals from 50 yards or longer, though he was perfect from that distance Sunday. The longtime Texan remains a reliable kicking option on a team that often settles for field goals.

In his past five home games, Fairbairn has made 16-of-18 field goals and all seven PATs, and he should stay hot in Houston against Arizona in Week 15. The Cardinals are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers, and five guys have made at least three field goals against Arizona this season. Fairbairn has top-five upside in all leagues.

Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. Fairbairn connected on a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter before later adding a 28-yarder in the fourth quarter, notching his eighth straight contest with at least two field-goal makes. The kicker has been an elite option for fantasy managers this season, going 29-for-32 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-8 from 50-plus yards, over 11 games.

Fairbairn went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made both of his PATs in Thursday night's 23-19 win over the Bills. Fairbairn made his return to action after missing two games with a right quadriceps injury, connecting on field goals of 24 and 43 yards in the first half before later adding a 26-yard make in the third quarter. The kicker has now made multiple field goals in six straight contests that he's appeared in, tallying 12 total field-goal makes over his last three games. Fairbairn has gone 25-for-28 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-8 from 50-plus yards, while making all 14 of his extra-point attempts over nine contests this season.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Thursday that Fairbairn (quadriceps) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Fairbairn will miss a second consecutive game due to a quad injury suffered Week 9 versus the Broncos, leaving Matthew Wright in position to draw another start versus the Titans. In Week 12, Fairbairn will face a short recovery window before the Texans take on Buffalo on Thursday Night Football, which increases the risk of him being sidelined for a third straight game.
