Week 12 Kicker Outlooks for Fantasy Football
Spencer Shrader, Kansas City Chiefs - Fantasy Football Outlook
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Spencer Shrader will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Shrader was acquired by the team in the wake of Harrison Butker's injury and started as the placekicker for the team in last week's loss. The 25-year-old kicker out of Notre Dame nailed all three extra-point attempts and did not attempt a field goal in Week 11.
The Chiefs are favorites in this week's matchup against the Panthers, which bodes well for Shrader's opportunities to score. If the Chiefs dominate the Panthers in this contest, there should be plenty of extra-point attempts and field goals to kick.
Shrader will look to continue his streak of made kicks for his new team this week. The Chiefs kicker is ranked as the 11th-best kicker in our RotoBaller rankings this week, meaning fantasy managers will likely have better options to turn to. That said, Shrader should be a decent bye-week replacement kicker.

Ka'imi Fairbairn, Houston Texans - Fantasy Football Outlook
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn remains a clear starter once again as his team prepares to take on the slumping Tennessee Titans in Week 12. The longtime Texans kicker has logged at least two made field goals in seven consecutive games, and nobody in the NFL has made more kicks from beyond 50 yards this season.
Nine of his 11 kicks from 50-plus yards were indoors, and the Texans find themselves playing their first of two matchups with the Titans at home this week. At this point, Fairbairn is an every-game starter while attached to a talented Houston offense.

Austin Seibert, Washinton Commanders - Fantasy Football Outlook
Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert has been sidelined for the past two weeks but was able to log a full practice on Friday, which is a positive sign of his availability for this divisional matchup.
Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reported that the kicker is "trending in the right way." Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status over the weekend if he faces a setback. If Seibert can suit up, he should be viewed as a high-end kicking option facing a struggling Dallas defense. If not, Zane Gonzalez could be worth a look in deeper formats, given the favorable matchup.
