What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks David Montgomery (HOU RB), our RB28 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 6.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 4.3 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. Fair warning: he carries a questionable tag as of the timestamp below, so re-check before kickoff. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks David Montgomery (HOU RB), our RB28 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 6.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 4.3 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. 8% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The questionable designation on the timestamp below is the one variable that could blow this up — confirm it Sunday morning. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
