What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jalen Coker (CAR WR), our WR55 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 8.6 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Only 51% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. 8.6 points is roughly 14% short of the WR baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
