What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chase Brown (CIN RB), our RB12 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs TEN, projecting 9.9 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 1.1 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. He's still in 82% of lineups at 99% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Nothing in the projection defends him — 10% below positional par is a bench line for me. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chase Brown (CIN RB), our RB12 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs TEN, projecting 9.9 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina plays contrarian — with 82% start rate he's priced in, and she cares more about his floor than his name. He's still in 82% of lineups at 99% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. 9.9 points is roughly 10% short of the RB baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
