What is Pepper Meter in fantasy football?
The Pepper Meter is our 1-to-5 heat rating for how strongly we like a player's week, from Mild to Nuclear.
How it works in your league
Heat combines projection against the positional baseline with roster trend and matchup. Five peppers means start him without thinking; one pepper means look elsewhere.
