What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jahmyr Gibbs (DET RB), our RB1 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs MIN, projecting 17.1 projected points with a on fire Pepper Meter rating. Sally's angle is ceiling: 6.1 points over a typical starter is a week-winner, and she's riding it. MIN is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. 96% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally has him at On Fire on the Pepper Meter, and she'll wear the result either way.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jahmyr Gibbs (DET RB), our RB1 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs MIN, projecting 17.1 projected points with a on fire Pepper Meter rating. Tina plays contrarian — with 96% start rate he's priced in, and she cares more about his floor than his name. 96% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Gibbs clears the RB bar by about 55%, which is why he sits this high on my board. That combination is why the Pepper Meter has him at On Fire this week.
