What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Broncos D/ST (DEN DST), our DST3 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs KC, projecting 4.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's angle is simple: he's a top-three DST on our board, and she never benches the guys who win weeks. Roster share is bleeding 2.4% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. He's still in 73% of lineups at 87% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Nothing in the projection defends him — 35% below positional par is a bench line for me. Mild on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.

Tina plays contrarian — with 73% start rate he's priced in, and she cares more about his floor than his name.
