What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks George Kittle (SF TE), our TE3 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 8.7 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. For Sally this is a volume bet, and the volume is there: 1.7 points clear of the starter baseline. I have him at TE3 because the projection lands about 24% clear of what a typical TE banks in a week. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Hot here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks George Kittle (SF TE), our TE3 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 8.7 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. Tina likes the price: only 60% of managers start him, and the floor holds up. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 60% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Hot heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
