What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chris Boswell (PIT K), our K6 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CLE, projecting 6.1 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's angle is simple: he's a top-six K on our board, and she never benches the guys who win weeks. The vs CLE draw matters here — home snaps against CLE shape how often he's asked to do something. Managers added him at a 2.7% clip this week — that kind of movement usually follows real snaps, not vibes. He's still in 67% of lineups at 72% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Spicy heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chris Boswell (PIT K), our K6 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CLE, projecting 6.1 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 1.4 points of shortfall. Managers added him at a 2.7% clip this week — that kind of movement usually follows real snaps, not vibes. He's still in 67% of lineups at 72% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Nothing in the projection defends him — 19% below positional par is a bench line for me. Spicy on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
