What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Nick Folk (ATL K), our K22 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at TB, projecting 5.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 2.4 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. TB is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. 4% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Nick Folk (ATL K), our K22 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at TB, projecting 5.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 2.4 points of shortfall. 4% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Nothing in the projection defends him — 32% below positional par is a bench line for me. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
