What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Malik Nabers (NYG WR), our WR12 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 14.4 projected points with a on fire Pepper Meter rating. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 81% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Fair warning: he carries a questionable tag as of the timestamp below, so re-check before kickoff. Sally has him at On Fire on the Pepper Meter, and she'll wear the result either way.
