What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Nick Folk (ATL K), our K17 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 8.3 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Folk clears the K bar by about 11%, which is why he sits this high on my board. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Only 5% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Spicy here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
