What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Kyren Williams (LAR RB), our RB11 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs LAC, projecting 9.9 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 1.1 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He's still in 96% of lineups at 100% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. The projection sits about 10% under what a startable RB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Kyren Williams (LAR RB), our RB11 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs LAC, projecting 9.9 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina plays contrarian — with 96% start rate he's priced in, and she cares more about his floor than his name. The vs LAC draw matters here — home snaps against LAC shape how often he's asked to do something. He's still in 96% of lineups at 100% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Tina keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
