Houston Texans rookie kicker Randy Bullock and veteran Shayne Graham are currently locked in a close competition for the team’s starting kicker job, and coach Gary Kubiak says it’s split down the middle right now. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Texans' kickers have proven to be reliable fantasy commodities over the years because of the efficiency of the team's offense. Bullock, an All-American in 2011 for Texas A&M and Houston's fifth round pick in the 2012 draft, is known for his big leg, which he has shown off on occasion this preseason.
