What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks DeVonta Smith (PHI WR), our WR19 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at WSH, projecting 8.6 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 1.4 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He grades 14% below the average weekly WR number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. He's listed questionable as of the update below; my rank assumes he plays, and designations move fast. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks DeVonta Smith (PHI WR), our WR19 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at WSH, projecting 8.6 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 1.4 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. 38% 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 Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
