What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Blake Corum (LAR RB), our RB31 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs LAC, projecting 6.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 4.8 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. Roster share is moving +2.1% week over week, so the rest of the country is catching up. 35% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. He grades 44% below the average weekly RB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.

Tina's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Blake Corum (LAR RB), our RB31 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs LAC, projecting 6.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 4.8 points of shortfall. Managers added him at a 2.1% clip this week — that kind of movement usually follows real snaps, not vibes. 35% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 6.2 points is roughly 44% short of the RB baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
