Dominic Zvada's fantasy role in Week 2
Dominic Zvada goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a deep-league K flyer for the NYG. He is rostered in 2% of leagues and actually started in 1% of them, and we rank him K18 on our own weekly board at 7.4 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 2 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at LAR. 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 7.4-point projection is 0.1 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Dominic Zvada is a fair Week 2 play — our K18 at 7.4 projected points, right around 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 Dominic Zvada (NYG K), our K18 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season at LAR, projecting 7.4 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. The projection sits about 1% under what a startable K returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. On the road against LAR, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Only 2% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
