What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Michael Wilson (ARI WR), our WR39 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 10.4 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 12% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. I have him at WR39 because the projection lands about 4% clear of what a typical WR banks in a week. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Spicy on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
