What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dak Prescott (DAL QB), our QB13 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 17.4 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. The math is unsexy and convincing: 17.4 points, 2% above what the position pays out on average. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 70% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Spicy here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
