What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jake Ferguson (DAL TE), our TE34 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ARI, projecting 3.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 3.9 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Roster share is bleeding 2.5% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. 16% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 3.1 points is roughly 56% short of the TE baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jake Ferguson (DAL TE), our TE34 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ARI, projecting 3.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 3.9 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. He grades 56% below the average weekly TE number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. ARI is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
