What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks George Pickens (DAL WR), our WR25 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ARI, projecting 7.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 2.1 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He's still in 84% of lineups at 99% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. The projection sits about 21% under what a startable WR returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks George Pickens (DAL WR), our WR25 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ARI, projecting 7.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina's pushback: 84% of leagues start him, so you gain nothing on your opponent here — the edge is elsewhere. At home against ARI, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. He's still in 84% of lineups at 99% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
