What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Bills D/ST (BUF DST), our DST28 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 3.5 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. He grades 46% below the average weekly DST number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 3% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
