What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Davante Adams (LAR WR), our WR17 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 13.7 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 85% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. I have him at WR17 because the projection lands about 37% clear of what a typical WR banks in a week. Hot heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
