What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Rashee Rice (KC WR), our WR16 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DEN, projecting 8.9 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 1.1 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 26% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The questionable designation on the timestamp below is the one variable that could blow this up — confirm it Sunday morning. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Rashee Rice (KC WR), our WR16 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DEN, projecting 8.9 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 1.1 points of shortfall. Nothing in the projection defends him — 11% below positional par is a bench line for me. He's listed questionable as of the update below; my rank assumes he plays, and designations move fast. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
