What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Courtland Sutton (DEN WR), our WR27 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 12.0 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 35% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sutton clears the WR bar by about 20%, which is why he sits this high on my board. Hot heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
