What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chiefs D/ST (KC DST), our DST10 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DEN, projecting 3.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 2.9 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 45% under what a startable DST returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. On the road against DEN, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chiefs D/ST (KC DST), our DST10 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DEN, projecting 3.6 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 grades 45% below the average weekly DST number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. DEN is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
