Cam Little or Jason Myers: Who Should You Start?

2026 Week 1 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.

Same Points, Same Stalls: Little's Precision vs Myers' Volume

Two kickers sitting on identical red-zone stall rates and matching implied totals make this less a numbers gap than a philosophy choice. Little's 88% conversion mark and 68-yard long show a leg that turns fewer chances into points, while Myers' larger sample and extra half-attempt give him a bit more room if his first look goes sideways. Neither offense is projected to bail out its kicker with volume, so the swing comes down to accuracy versus opportunity rather than anything on the depth chart. Both are locked-in starters with no availability concerns clouding the call.

What flips it: A shift in either offense's red-zone efficiency, or Seattle carrying its recent scoring momentum forward (ESPN 2026-08-29), would tip this toward Myers.

Why Cam Little

Start

Starting K with elite leg strength. Proven range well beyond 55 yards.

Start — K6 by consensus, projects K7 this week: 1.6 red-zone stalls a game, and 8.8 pts projected vs CLE.

  • His 88% clip on 34 attempts, tighter than Myers' 85% on a much bigger sample, suggests fewer misses when it matters.
  • A 68-yard long signals he's trusted from distance if Jacksonville stalls near midfield instead of the red zone.

Why Jason Myers

Start

Veteran starting kicker. Long-tenured, high-volume leg with proven range.

Start — K5 consensus and projection: 1.6 red-zone stalls a game, and 9.4 pts projected vs NE.

  • The extra projected attempt gives him a built-in cushion if one field-goal try doesn't convert.
  • His K5 consensus rank reflects a track record built on 48 attempts, more proof of a steady weekly floor.
