What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dalton Schultz (HOU TE), our TE20 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 5.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 2 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Only 29% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dalton Schultz (HOU TE), our TE20 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 5.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 2 points of shortfall. Only 29% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. 5 points is roughly 29% short of the TE baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
