What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Khalil Shakir (BUF WR), our WR45 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 10.1 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 2% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The math is unsexy and convincing: 10.1 points, 1% above what the position pays out on average. Spicy heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
