He projects as a very good fantasy option for Week 7, as he'll be kicking indoors in a matchup versus the Giants.

Idle against Bolts Fairbairn did not play in the Texans' 27-7 preseason loss to the Chargers on Thursday.

Unless the Texans sign another kicker to the roster, Fairbairn figures to play in each of the last two preseason games, with the next taking place this Thursday at home against the Raiders.

Who Are The NFL's Highest-Paid Players at Each Position?

Extended by Houston Fairbairn and the Texans have agreed on a two-year deal for the kicker, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
