What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ka'imi Fairbairn (HOU K), our K12 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 5.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 1.9 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Roster share is bleeding 6.4% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. He's still in 73% of lineups at 87% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
