What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Kyle Monangai (CHI RB), our RB34 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 10.3 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 7% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The projection sits about 6% under what a startable RB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. Sally keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
