What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Luther Burden III (CHI WR), our WR22 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at SEA, projecting 8.5 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 1.5 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He grades 15% below the average weekly WR number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. SEA is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Luther Burden III (CHI WR), our WR22 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at SEA, projecting 8.5 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 1.5 points of shortfall. Facing SEA away from home, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. He's still in 58% of lineups at 91% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Tina keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
