Ka'imi Fairbairn - Perfect again Fairbairn made his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Chiefs in Week 15.
Impact Fairbairn has been perfect the last eight games, converting 13 of 13 FGA and 10 of 10 XPA. He's 16th in kicker scoring with 95 points, but Fairbairn is saddled with one of the league's worst offenses. He's third among qualified kickers, converting 92.6 percent (25 of 27) of his FGA, including five of five from beyond the 50.

Amari Rodgers - Serves as third wideout Rodgers caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City.
Impact Rodgers, who caught four passes and his first career touchdown in Week 14, once again benefitted from Brandin Cooks (calf) and Nico Collins (foot) being unavailable. He was third among wideouts in playing time (32 snaps), behind Chris Moore (55) and Phillip Dorsett (54), and he out-targeted Dorsett for a second straight week.

Rex Burkhead - Used as target only Burkhead did not have a carry and caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City.
Impact Burkhead was speculated to be in line for the top job in the backfield with starter Dameon Pierce (ankle) inactive, but he was never handed the ball. Instead, he watched Dare Ogunbowale (27 snaps, eight carries, 14 yards) and elevated practice-teamer Royce Freeman (24 snaps, 11 carries, 51 yards) lead the ground attack, leaving Burkhead with a bleak fantasy outlook even if Pierce misses additional time.

Teagan Quitoriano - Finds paydirt Quitoriano caught one of two targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City.
Impact Quitoriano, who made his fourth straight start at tight end, caught his second touchdown of the season. He missed the first seven games with a knee injury but has seen his playing time increase since being activated for Week 9. Quitoriano has been Houston's tight end leader in snaps the last five weeks. It hasn't translated into much production -- eight targets, three catches, 28 yards -- but the rookie fifth-round pick figures to maintain his starting role over the final three games.
