What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Colts D/ST (IND DST), our DST22 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 4.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Nothing in the projection defends him — 34% below positional par is a bench line for me. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 1% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
