What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chig Okonkwo (WSH TE), our TE24 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 7.1 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. I have him at TE24 because the projection lands about 1% clear of what a typical TE banks in a week. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Only 8% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Spicy here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
