What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chase Brown (CIN RB), our RB13 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 16.0 projected points with a on fire Pepper Meter rating. 16 projected points is roughly 45% more than the RB baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at RB13. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 97% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Add it up and you get a On Fire reading on the Pepper Meter — Sally isn't hedging on this one.
