What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Javonte Williams (DAL RB), our RB15 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 15.3 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. Williams clears the RB bar by about 39%, 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. 92% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Hot here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
