What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dawson Knox (BUF TE), our TE39 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs BAL, projecting 2.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 4.8 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 2.2 points is roughly 69% short of the TE baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Facing BAL in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dawson Knox (BUF TE), our TE39 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs BAL, projecting 2.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 4.8 points of shortfall. Nothing in the projection defends him — 69% below positional par is a bench line for me. The vs BAL draw matters here — home snaps against BAL shape how often he's asked to do something. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
