What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Malik Washington (MIA WR), our WR80 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 5.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. The projection sits about 44% under what a startable WR returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 1% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
