What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Malik Washington (MIA WR), our WR37 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs NE, projecting 6.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 3.4 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 6.6 points is roughly 34% short of the WR baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Facing NE in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Malik Washington (MIA WR), our WR37 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs NE, projecting 6.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 3.4 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. The projection sits about 34% under what a startable WR returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. At home against NE, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
