What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dalton Schultz (HOU TE), our TE22 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 7.8 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Only 20% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. 7.8 projected points is roughly 11% more than the TE baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at TE22. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Spicy on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
