What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Bo Nix (DEN QB), our QB21 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs KC, projecting 9.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 7.7 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. The vs KC draw matters here — home snaps against KC shape how often he's asked to do something. 21% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Bo Nix (DEN QB), our QB21 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs KC, projecting 9.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 7.7 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. The projection sits about 45% under what a startable QB returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. At home against KC, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
