What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Oronde Gadsden (LAC TE), our TE37 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at LAR, projecting 2.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 4.4 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 63% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at LAR draw matters here — road snaps against LAR shape how often he's asked to do something. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Oronde Gadsden (LAC TE), our TE37 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at LAR, projecting 2.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 4.4 points of shortfall. Nothing in the projection defends him — 63% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at LAR draw matters here — road snaps against LAR shape how often he's asked to do something. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
