What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks CeeDee Lamb (DAL WR), our WR5 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 17.3 projected points with a nuclear Pepper Meter rating. 100% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 17.3 projected points is roughly 73% more than the WR baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at WR5. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. That combination is why the Pepper Meter has him at Nuclear this week.
