Eddy Pineiro's fantasy role in Week 8
Eddy Pineiro goes into Week 8 of the 2026 season as a matchup-dependent K option for the SF. He is rostered in 55% of leagues and actually started in 48% of them, and we rank him K26 on our own weekly board at 4.5 projected points.
Interest is cooling — roster rates slipped roughly 7% in the last week, so he is getting cheaper to acquire if you believe in the role.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.

The SF are on bye in Week 8, so there is no matchup to grade. Anyone holding him needs a one-week fill-in from the waiver wire.
How to play it

Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Eddy Pineiro (SF K), our K26 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 4.5 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 3 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He grades 40% below the average weekly K number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
