What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Jakobi Meyers (JAX WR), our WR33 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs IND, projecting 7.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 2.9 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 29% under what a startable WR returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. At home against IND, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.

Tina's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Jakobi Meyers (JAX WR), our WR33 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs IND, projecting 7.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 2.9 points of shortfall. 7.1 points is roughly 29% short of the WR baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. Facing IND in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
