Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dylan Laube (LV RB), our RB78 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at NYJ, projecting 0.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 11 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 100% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at NYJ draw matters here — road snaps against NYJ shape how often he's asked to do something. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
