What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Cairo Santos (CHI K), our K15 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at SEA, projecting 5.5 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 2 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. SEA is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Only 25% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Cairo Santos (CHI K), our K15 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at SEA, projecting 5.5 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 2 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. Only 25% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. He grades 27% below the average weekly K number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
