What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Andre Szmyt (CLE K), our K17 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at PIT, projecting 5.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 2.2 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Only 1% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Nothing in the projection defends him — 29% below positional par is a bench line for me. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.

Tina's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Andre Szmyt (CLE K), our K17 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at PIT, projecting 5.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 2.2 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. On the road against PIT, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Only 1% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
