What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Evan Engram (DEN TE), our TE33 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs KC, projecting 3.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 3.8 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 3.2 points is roughly 54% short of the TE baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Facing KC in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Evan Engram (DEN TE), our TE33 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs KC, projecting 3.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 3.8 points of shortfall. The vs KC draw matters here — home snaps against KC shape how often he's asked to do something. 1% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
