What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Christian Watson (GB WR), our WR17 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CAR, projecting 8.8 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 1.2 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. The vs CAR draw matters here — home snaps against CAR shape how often he's asked to do something. He's still in 82% of lineups at 97% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Sally keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Christian Watson (GB WR), our WR17 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CAR, projecting 8.8 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina plays contrarian — with 82% start rate he's priced in, and she cares more about his floor than his name. He's still in 82% of lineups at 97% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Nothing in the projection defends him — 12% below positional par is a bench line for me. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
