What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Jacory Croskey-Merritt (WSH RB), our RB38 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 9.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 3% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The projection sits about 15% under what a startable RB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
