What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Nico Collins (HOU WR), our WR11 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 14.6 projected points with a on fire Pepper Meter rating. Collins clears the WR bar by about 46%, 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. 97% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Add it up and you get a On Fire reading on the Pepper Meter — Sally isn't hedging on this one.
