What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ja'Tavion Sanders (CAR TE), our TE45 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 2.5 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. 2.5 points is roughly 64% short of the TE baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
