What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Commanders D/ST (WSH DST), our DST27 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 3.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. 1% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. He grades 45% below the average weekly DST number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
