What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jake Ferguson (DAL TE), our TE13 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 9.8 projected points with a on fire Pepper Meter rating. 42% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The math is unsexy and convincing: 9.8 points, 40% above what the position pays out on average. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. That combination is why the Pepper Meter has him at On Fire this week.
