What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Nico Collins (HOU WR), our WR23 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 8.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 1.8 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. He's still in 54% of lineups at 99% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take

Tina calls it a floor problem: 1.8 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. He's still in 54% of lineups at 99% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
