What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Keenan Allen (IND WR), our WR66 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 7.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. The projection sits about 27% under what a startable WR returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Only 29% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
