Cam Little, Jacksonville Jaguars (at DEN)
Another week. Another set of multiple field goal attempts for Cam Little.
It was definitely a win for fantasy managers to see Little hit two field goals in a game where Trevor Lawrence was firing on all cylinders. The Jaguars scored six touchdowns, all of which were accounted for by Lawrence. Imagine if they stalled out even one more time? It would’ve been an even bigger game for Little.
Regardless, the Jaguars are putting it together offensively at the perfect time, which should give fantasy managers confidence they can get into scoring position against a good Broncos defense. But the Broncos are solid enough that the Jaguars shouldn’t finish drives as often as they did last week.
Little has attempted multiple field goals in three of his last four. He’s missed just one extra point all season. The Broncos allow the ninth-most fantasy points per game to kickers. Little is a great option in Week 16.
Eddy Pineiro, K, San Francisco 49ers (at IND)
Eddy Piñeiro has been phenomenal this season, but is still available after recently missing multiple weeks through injury. The San Francisco 49ers kicker ranks 12th at his position in fantasy this season, despite playing fewer games than anyone else in the top 23.
Piñeiro has registered a top-eight fantasy finish in seven of his 11 games this season and is playing indoors in Indianapolis, away from the December elements.
