What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Colston Loveland (CHI TE), our TE4 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 12.1 projected points with a nuclear Pepper Meter rating. 98% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. I have him at TE4 because the projection lands about 73% clear of what a typical TE banks in a week. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. That combination is why the Pepper Meter has him at Nuclear this week.
