What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jahmyr Gibbs (DET RB), our RB1 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 21.9 projected points with a nuclear Pepper Meter rating. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 100% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Gibbs clears the RB bar by about 99%, which is why he sits this high on my board. Sally has him at Nuclear on the Pepper Meter, and she'll wear the result either way.
