What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Calvin Ridley (TEN WR), our WR60 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 8.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Only 23% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. 8 points is roughly 20% short of the WR baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
