What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Packers D/ST (GB DST), our DST14 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 5.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Only 16% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. The projection sits about 18% under what a startable DST returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
