What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dak Prescott (DAL QB), our QB14 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ARI, projecting 10.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 6.7 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Facing ARI in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. He's still in 64% of lineups at 91% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dak Prescott (DAL QB), our QB14 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ARI, projecting 10.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 6.7 points of shortfall. Nothing in the projection defends him — 39% below positional par is a bench line for me. The vs ARI draw matters here — home snaps against ARI shape how often he's asked to do something. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
