What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Rams D/ST (LAR DST), our DST4 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 7.3 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 89% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. I have him at DST4 because the projection lands about 12% clear of what a typical DST banks in a week. Spicy heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
