Eddy Pineiro's fantasy role in Week 10
Eddy Pineiro goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a deep-league K flyer for the SF. He is rostered in 35% of leagues and actually started in 24% of them, and we rank him K26 on our own weekly board at 3.6 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at DAL. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting K baseline of 7.5 points, his 3.6-point projection is 3.9 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Eddy Pineiro in Week 10 if you have a real alternative — 3.6 projected points lands 3.9 under the K starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another K, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Eddy Pineiro (SF K), our K26 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at DAL, projecting 3.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 3.9 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He grades 52% below the average weekly K number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. DAL is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take

Tina calls it a floor problem: 3.9 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. He grades 52% below the average weekly K number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. DAL is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
