What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Chris Olave (NO WR), our WR18 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 8.7 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 1.3 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 13% under what a startable WR returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take

Tina calls it a floor problem: 1.3 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. The projection sits about 13% under what a startable WR returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
