What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Geno Smith (NYJ QB), our QB24 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs LV, projecting 9.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 7.8 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 46% under what a startable QB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. At home against LV, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Geno Smith (NYJ QB), our QB24 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs LV, projecting 9.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 7.8 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. He grades 46% below the average weekly QB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. LV is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
