What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Kyle Pitts Sr. (ATL TE), our TE12 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at TB, projecting 6.2 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 0.8 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. He's still in 59% of lineups at 83% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Nothing in the projection defends him — 11% below positional par is a bench line for me. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Kyle Pitts Sr. (ATL TE), our TE12 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at TB, projecting 6.2 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 0.8 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. He's still in 59% of lineups at 83% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. He grades 11% below the average weekly TE number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
