What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Colby Parkinson (LAR TE), our TE21 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs LAC, projecting 5.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 2 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Only 7% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. 5 points is roughly 29% short of the TE baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Colby Parkinson (LAR TE), our TE21 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs LAC, projecting 5.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 2 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. LAC is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Only 7% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
