Jason Myers or Will Reichard: Who Should You Start?

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

Start Jason Myers: Seattle's scoring outlook beats Reichard's leg edge

Start Jason Myers because Seattle's scoring environment creates more routes to points, while the calm forecast removes the biggest kicker variable. Reichard's accuracy and range keep him viable, but Minnesota's lower scoring outlook and wet, windy conditions make his opportunity less stable. Myers is the comfortable call, with his main risk being a Seahawks game that produces touchdowns instead of field-goal chances.

What flips it: A late forecast change that puts Seattle under disruptive wind or rain.
