What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Bijan Robinson (ATL RB), our RB2 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 20.6 projected points with a nuclear Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 100% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The math is unsexy and convincing: 20.6 points, 87% above what the position pays out on average. Sally has him at Nuclear on the Pepper Meter, and she'll wear the result either way.
