What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Cooper Rush (ATL QB), our QB37 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 0.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. He grades 96% below the average weekly QB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. He's listed questionable as of the update below; my rank assumes he plays, and designations move fast. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
