What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jets D/ST (NYJ DST), our DST17 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 4.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. He grades 26% below the average weekly DST number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Only 5% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
