What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Brock Purdy (SF QB), our QB11 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 17.7 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 21% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 17.7 projected points is roughly 4% more than the QB baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at QB11. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Spicy on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
