Jason Myers's fantasy role in Week 8
Jason Myers goes into Week 8 of the 2026 season as a locked-in weekly starter at K for the SEA. He is rostered in 88% of leagues and actually started in 83% of them, and we rank him K11 on our own weekly board at 5.6 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 8 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs CHI. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 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 5.6-point projection is 1.9 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Jason Myers in Week 8 if you have a real alternative — 5.6 projected points lands 1.9 under 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 Jason Myers (SEA K), our K11 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CHI, projecting 5.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 1.9 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. He's still in 83% of lineups at 88% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Nothing in the projection defends him — 25% below positional par is a bench line for me. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jason Myers (SEA K), our K11 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CHI, projecting 5.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina's pushback: 83% of leagues start him, so you gain nothing on your opponent here — the edge is elsewhere. The projection sits about 25% under what a startable K returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. At home against CHI, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
