Cam Little's fantasy role in Week 8
Cam Little goes into Week 8 of the 2026 season as a matchup-dependent K option for the JAX. He is rostered in 62% of leagues and actually started in 33% of them, and we rank him K9 on our own weekly board at 5.7 projected points.
Interest is climbing — roster rates moved up about 3% over the last week, which usually means managers are reacting to a bigger snap or target share.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 8 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs IND. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting K baseline of 7.5 points, his 5.7-point projection is 1.8 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Cam Little in Week 8 if you have a real alternative — 5.7 projected points lands 1.8 under the K starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another K, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Cam Little (JAX K), our K9 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs IND, projecting 5.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 1.8 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 24% below positional par is a bench line for me. The vs IND draw matters here — home snaps against IND shape how often he's asked to do something. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Cam Little (JAX K), our K9 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs IND, projecting 5.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 1.8 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. The projection sits about 24% under what a startable K returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. At home against IND, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
