What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ladd McConkey (LAC WR), our WR32 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at LAR, projecting 7.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 2.9 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 15% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The questionable designation on the timestamp below is the one variable that could blow this up — confirm it Sunday morning. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ladd McConkey (LAC WR), our WR32 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at LAR, projecting 7.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 2.9 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. LAR is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Fair warning: he carries a questionable tag as of the timestamp below, so re-check before kickoff. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
