4. K Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks

Rostered: 37.6%

Yes, a kicker comes in at No. 4 on this week’s list. Over the last four weeks, Jason Myers leads all kickers in fantasy points. This season, Myers has made 12 out of his 13 field goal attempts.

In 2018, Myers was tied for the third-most fantasy points among kickers. At the time, he played for the New York Jets. The key to his success was his career-high 36 field goal attempts. That volume had greatly decreased in 2020 and 2021 with the Seahawks. He attempted 24 field goals in 2020, and he attempted 23 field goals in 2021. This season, he is on pace for 36.8 attempts.

The Seahawks offense has been able to move the ball with Geno Smith at quarterback. Across the last four weeks, their offense is averaging a blistering 30.5 points per game, which has afforded Myers more extra point opportunities.

Myers is a must-add in all leagues. He is a great source of consistent fantasy points at a volatile position.
