What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Evan Engram (DEN TE), our TE29 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 6.3 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Only 3% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. 6.3 points is roughly 10% short of the TE baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Sally keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
