What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Emeka Egbuka (TB WR), our WR18 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 13.5 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. Egbuka clears the WR bar by about 35%, which is why he sits this high on my board. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 83% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Hot here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
