What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Calvin Ridley (TEN WR), our WR96 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at CIN, projecting 1.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 8.2 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. CIN is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. He's listed questionable as of the update below; my rank assumes he plays, and designations move fast. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Calvin Ridley (TEN WR), our WR96 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at CIN, projecting 1.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 8.2 points of shortfall. 1.8 points is roughly 82% short of the WR baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. The questionable designation on the timestamp below is the one variable that could blow this up — confirm it Sunday morning. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
