## Resource

Ka’imi Fairbairn, Houston’s clutch kicker, might not headline the roster—but he’s quietly one of the most valuable players on the team. Ranked 21st on the impact list, Fairbairn’s been a steady force since 2017, making 44 field goals last season without missing an extra point. He’s the offense’s safety net, especially from 30-49 yards, where he’s perfect. His high salary reflects his importance, even if his 50+ yard accuracy leaves room for improvement. When he sat out, backup Matthew Wright stepped in and nailed every kick—proving the Texans have depth. While the team hopes to score more touchdowns, Fairbairn’s reliability in crunch time makes him indispensable. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
