Jason Myers or Tyler Bass: Who Should You Start?

2026 Week 2 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.

Myers’ red-zone stall profile gives him the edge over Bass

Myers is the better play by a small but coherent margin: his K4 standing reflects a stronger baseline, and his offense projects to create more field-goal chances. Bass has the slightly better scoring environment and a strong extra-point floor, but those points depend more on Buffalo finishing drives. The real risk is Seattle turning its favorable script into touchdowns, while Bass needs another stalled drive to erase the gap.

What flips it: An unexpected jump in Buffalo’s field-goal volume.

Why Jason Myers

Start

Veteran starting kicker. Long-tenured, high-volume leg with proven range.

Start — K4 by consensus, projects K5 this week: 1.6 red-zone stalls a game, and 9.4 pts projected vs ARI.

  • Seattle’s red-zone inefficiency supports Myers’ field-goal path even in a game where the Seahawks are favored.
  • His proven range makes long-attempt upside more credible if Seattle stalls outside the red zone.

Why Tyler Bass

Start· medium

Starting placekicker. Strong leg on kickoffs and long-range attempts.

27.8 implied total plus calm, open-roof conditions gives Bass a clean 3.1 XP floor and 1.8 FG tries as the locked-in PK1.

  • Buffalo’s higher team total gives Bass a safer path to routine extra points.
  • Calm, open-roof conditions remove the main variable that could undermine Bass’ long-range role.

The call

  • Buffalo's 27.8 implied team total is the driver here — 3.1 projected extra points is a floor most kickers can't match, and it comes with 1.8 FG attempts on top.
  • Calm forecast with the roof open removes the main thing that separates kickers week to week; no wind or precipitation to shrink the 50-plus range.
  • Only 1.3 red-zone stalls per game means fewer stalled-drive field goals, which caps the ceiling a bit — that's why he sits at K21 in consensus rank despite 8.7 projected points.
  • PK1 on the depth chart with no injury designation; nothing about the role is in question.
