What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Brock Purdy (SF QB), our QB9 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 11.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 5.9 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 11.1 points is roughly 35% short of the QB baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Brock Purdy (SF QB), our QB9 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 11.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 5.9 points of shortfall. He's still in 53% of lineups at 99% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. 11.1 points is roughly 35% short of the QB baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
