Tyler Bass's fantasy role in Week 10
Tyler Bass goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a every-week lineup piece at K for the BUF. He is rostered in 80% of leagues and actually started in 75% of them, and we rank him K1 on our own weekly board at 5.8 projected points.
Interest is climbing — roster rates moved up about 3% over the last week, which usually means managers are reacting to a bigger snap or target share.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at NYJ. 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 5.8-point projection is 1.7 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Tyler Bass in Week 10 if you have a real alternative — 5.8 projected points lands 1.7 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 Tyler Bass (BUF K), our K1 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at NYJ, projecting 5.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's angle is simple: he's a top-three K on our board, and she never benches the guys who win weeks. Managers added him at a 2.8% clip this week — that kind of movement usually follows real snaps, not vibes. He's still in 75% of lineups at 80% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. 5.8 points is roughly 23% short of the K baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Mild on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tyler Bass (BUF K), our K1 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at NYJ, projecting 5.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina plays contrarian — with 75% start rate he's priced in, and she cares more about his floor than his name. Nothing in the projection defends him — 23% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at NYJ draw matters here — road snaps against NYJ shape how often he's asked to do something. Tina keeps the Pepper Meter at Mild here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
