What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Emmett Johnson (KC RB), our RB64 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 3.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. 3.2 points is roughly 71% short of the RB baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
