What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Harrison Butker (KC K), our K4 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DEN, projecting 6.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's angle is simple: he's a top-six K on our board, and she never benches the guys who win weeks. The projection sits about 17% under what a startable K returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. On the road against DEN, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Mild here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Harrison Butker (KC K), our K4 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DEN, projecting 6.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 1.3 points of shortfall. Roster share is bleeding 3.3% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. He's still in 57% of lineups at 67% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. 6.2 points is roughly 17% short of the K baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. Mild on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
