What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jordan Mason (MIN RB), our RB41 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 9.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. 4% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Nothing in the projection defends him — 18% below positional par is a bench line for me. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
