What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Aaron Jones Sr. (MIN RB), our RB32 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 10.5 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 10% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. He grades 5% below the average weekly RB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
