What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Kyler Murray (MIN QB), our QB15 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 17.2 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 13% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 17.2 projected points is roughly 1% more than the QB baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at QB15. Spicy heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
