What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jalen Hurts (PHI QB), our QB4 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 19.4 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. 93% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Hurts clears the QB bar by about 14%, which is why he sits this high on my board. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Hot on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
