What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Gunnar Helm (TEN TE), our TE23 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 7.5 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Only 6% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Helm clears the TE bar by about 7%, which is why he sits this high on my board. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Spicy on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
