What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Aaron Jones Sr. (MIN RB), our RB29 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DET, projecting 6.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 4.4 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Facing DET away from home, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Fair warning: he carries a questionable tag as of the timestamp below, so re-check before kickoff. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Aaron Jones Sr. (MIN RB), our RB29 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DET, projecting 6.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 4.4 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. On the road against DET, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Fair warning: he carries a questionable tag as of the timestamp below, so re-check before kickoff. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
