Cameron Dicker's fantasy role in Week 3
Cameron Dicker goes into Week 3 of the 2026 season as a locked-in weekly starter at K for the LAC. He is rostered in 96% of leagues and actually started in 91% of them, and we rank him K6 on our own weekly board at 7.8 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 3 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at BUF. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 2 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 7.8-point projection is 0.3 points better. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it

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 Cameron Dicker (LAC K), our K6 this week for Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season at BUF, projecting 7.8 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 7.8 projected points is roughly 4% more than the K baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at K6. Facing BUF away from home, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. 91% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Spicy here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
