What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Giants D/ST (NYG DST), our DST19 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 4.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. 4.7 points is roughly 28% short of the DST baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Only 2% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
