Texans K Ka'imi Fairbairn (quad) is not expected to be available for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, HC Demeco Ryans said Wednesday. Matthew Wright will step in for Fairbairn but isn't a recommended fantasy play with Houston implied for only 18 points.

Commanders K Matt Gay (back) has been downgraded to out for tonight's game against the Chiefs. It's unclear if he'll miss more time beyond this after being added to the injury report on Saturday. Matthew Wright will kick for Washington in Kansas City tonight.

Titans K Joey Slye (calf) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He’ll be replaced by K Matthew Wright, who’s not a recommended fantasy starter with Tennessee projected for just 18.5 points.

Titans K Nick Folk (abdomen) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. Matthew Wright will kick for Tennessee this weekend but is not a recommended fantasy play.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. We’re not expecting Butker to make it back for this one but will keep you posted on his status. Matthew Wright will kick again for Kansas City if Butker doesn’t.

Chiefs K Spencer Schrader (hamstring) is out for Friday's game vs. the Raiders. He'll be replaced by K Matthew Wright, who's a viable Week 13 fantasy play with the Chiefs sporting the week's second-highest implied total (27.75 points).

Chiefs K Spencer Shrader (hamstring) did not practice on Tuesday. The team signed K Matthew Wright to the practice squad, suggesting real concern about Shrader's availability for Friday's game vs. the Raiders. We'll keep you updated on the situation. With Kansas City sporting a 27.5-point implied total, whoever is kicking for the Chiefs will be a viable Week 13 fantasy play.

49ers Ks Jake Moody (ankle) and Matthew Wright (shoulder, back) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. San Francisco figures to elevate former Packer Anders Carlson from the practice squad to kick against Kansas City. Carlson made 82% of his FGs and 87% of his XPs for Green Bay last year.

49ers K Jake Moody (ankle) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Matthew Wright, who owns a career 85% FG conversion rate, will kick in Moody's place. With the Niners holding the week's third-highest implied total at 26.5 points, Wright is a fine replacement for Moody in fantasy lineups.

The 49ers signed K Matthew Wright. He's insurance for rookie K Jake Moody, who's dealing with a quad injury. Avoid this situation in remaining fantasy drafts and Week 1 lineups.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (back) is listed as questionable for Week 18 vs. the Raiders. The team worked out K Matthew Wright on Thursday, a player who filled in for the injured Butker earlier in the season. It's possible that Wright will get another opportunity on Saturday if Butker is ultimately ruled out. We'll let you know if anything definitive occurs.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Raiders. Matthew Wright will kick again for Kansas City and is a fine fantasy football spot start.
