Jake Bates a Solid Starting Kicker Option in Week 5

Friday, October 9, 7:51 PM

Across four games in 2026, Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates has connected on all seven of his field goal attempts and all 14 of his extra point tries. Bates had his best game of the young season in Week 4, converting four field goal attempts in Detroit's loss to the Carolina Panthers. In Week 5, Bates and the Lions will take on the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has struggled to keep its opponents off the scoreboard in recent weeks, allowing at least 31 points in each of its last three games. Detroit has also been one of the NFL's highest-scoring offenses so far, averaging 29.8 points per game. In a potentially high-scoring Week 5 affair against the Cardinals, Bates profiles as a steady top-12 kicker for fantasy managers.

Cam Little a Great Starting Option in London Face-off

Saturday, October 10, 8:25 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little remains a solid fantasy starter heading into Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Little may have plenty of chances to show off his big leg to London fans, given the Eagles' defense hasn't been as good as in recent seasons. With injuries on offense as well, the Eagles will likely struggle to move the ball, giving Jacksonville more drives with good field position. Little came into the year with high fantasy expectations, and while he hasn't quite been top tier, those expectations should remain. He has missed two 50+ yard field goals, but a potent offense has given him plenty of opportunities, and both the Jaguars and fantasy managers should still trust him. Start Little with confidence, as he ranks seventh in the latest kicker rankings for Week 5.
