What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Alec Pierce (IND WR), our WR61 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at JAX, projecting 4.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 5.6 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 1% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The injury reserve designation on the timestamp below is the one variable that could blow this up — confirm it Sunday morning. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
