What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Carnell Tate (TEN WR), our WR31 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at CIN, projecting 7.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 2.9 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 29% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at CIN draw matters here — road snaps against CIN shape how often he's asked to do something. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Carnell Tate (TEN WR), our WR31 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at CIN, projecting 7.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 2.9 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. He's still in 44% of lineups at 87% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. The projection sits about 29% under what a startable WR returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
