What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Malachi Fields (NYG WR), our WR77 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 6.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. 6.1 points is roughly 39% short of the WR baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
