Harrison Mevis's fantasy role in Week 2
Harrison Mevis goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a locked-in weekly starter at K for the LAR. He is rostered in 86% of leagues and actually started in 80% of them, and we rank him K5 on our own weekly board at 8.1 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: vs NYG. 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 8.1-point projection is 0.6 points better. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Harrison Mevis is a fair Week 2 play — our K5 at 8.1 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 Harrison Mevis (LAR K), our K5 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season vs NYG, projecting 8.1 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. I have him at K5 because the projection lands about 8% clear of what a typical K banks in a week. At home against NYG, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. 80% 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.
