What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jayden Daniels (WSH QB), our QB5 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 19.3 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. I have him at QB5 because the projection lands about 14% clear of what a typical QB banks in a week. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 78% 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.
