What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Buccaneers D/ST (TB DST), our DST13 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 5.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. The projection sits about 17% under what a startable DST returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Only 13% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
