What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Carnell Tate (TEN WR), our WR28 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 11.9 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. 32% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The math is unsexy and convincing: 11.9 points, 19% above what the position pays out on average. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Hot on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
