What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Bhayshul Tuten (JAX RB), our RB16 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs IND, projecting 9.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 1.8 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. At home against IND, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. He's still in 44% of lineups at 93% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.

Tina's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Bhayshul Tuten (JAX RB), our RB16 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs IND, projecting 9.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 1.8 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. He grades 16% below the average weekly RB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. IND is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
