What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Colby Parkinson (LAR TE), our TE26 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 6.8 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Only 1% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. The projection sits about 3% under what a startable TE returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. Sally keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
