Who Should I Start? Kaimi Fairbairn or Cam Little

Friday, November 29, 10:02 PM

Kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn of the Houston Texans enters Week 13 against Jacksonville coming off one of the worst missed field goals of the year, an uncharacteristically pulled chip shot that would have tied the game in an eventual 32-27 defeat to Tennessee. The UCLA product is now 82% on field goal attempts this year, which is 21st among kickers but his volume still makes him the overall No. 1 fantasy kicker and a clear starter again. Nobody has attempted more field goals or made more from beyond 50-plus yards than Fairbairn, and the Jags have allowed more fantasy points to kickers than anyone. Contending fantasy managers still should keep an eye on waiver wire kickers, especially with Houston on a bye in Week 14.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little is a below-average kicking option in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Little has been accurate at least this season, hitting all of his extra points and 17 of 19 field goals. His longest field goal made this season is 59 yards, so he has the leg to put up fantasy points as well. However, the already lackluster Jaguars offense now has Mac Jones under center instead of Trevor Lawrence, meaning Little could have even fewer field goal attempts this week. Last week against the Houston Texans, Little put up six fantasy points, and in Weeks 10 and 11, Jones's other two starts, he put up a combined nine fantasy points. The rookie kicker could have a decent fantasy day, but given the circumstances, there are much better options out there to start in an important Week 14 for most fantasy managers.
