Trey Smack's fantasy role in Week 2
Trey Smack goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a deep-league K flyer for the GB. He is rostered in 15% of leagues and actually started in 13% of them, and we rank him K8 on our own weekly board at 7.8 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 NYJ. 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 7.8-point projection is 0.3 points better. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Trey Smack is a fair Week 2 play — our K8 at 7.8 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 Trey Smack (GB K), our K8 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season at NYJ, projecting 7.8 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Only 15% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. 7.8 projected points is roughly 4% more than the K baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at K8. Facing NYJ away from home, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Spicy on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
