What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jonathan Taylor (IND RB), our RB6 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at JAX, projecting 10.7 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's angle is simple: he's a top-six RB on our board, and she never benches the guys who win weeks. The at JAX draw matters here — road snaps against JAX shape how often he's asked to do something. He's still in 97% of lineups at 100% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Spicy heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jonathan Taylor (IND RB), our RB6 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at JAX, projecting 10.7 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina's pushback: 97% of leagues start him, so you gain nothing on your opponent here — the edge is elsewhere. The projection sits about 3% under what a startable RB returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. On the road against JAX, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Tina keeps the Pepper Meter at Spicy here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
