What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Javonte Williams (DAL RB), our RB9 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ARI, projecting 10.1 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 0.9 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He's still in 95% of lineups at 99% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. He grades 8% below the average weekly RB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Javonte Williams (DAL RB), our RB9 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ARI, projecting 10.1 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina's pushback: 95% of leagues start him, so you gain nothing on your opponent here — the edge is elsewhere. ARI is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. He's still in 95% of lineups at 99% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Tina keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
