What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ashton Jeanty (LV RB), our RB14 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at NYJ, projecting 9.4 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 1.6 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 15% under what a startable RB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. On the road against NYJ, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ashton Jeanty (LV RB), our RB14 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at NYJ, projecting 9.4 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina plays contrarian — with 96% start rate he's priced in, and she cares more about his floor than his name. 9.4 points is roughly 15% short of the RB baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. Facing NYJ away from home, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
