What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Deebo Samuel Sr. (SF WR), our WR50 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 9.2 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 4% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 9.2 points is roughly 8% short of the WR baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
