What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ravens D/ST (BAL DST), our DST11 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at BUF, projecting 3.5 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 3 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He grades 46% below the average weekly DST number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. BUF is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ravens D/ST (BAL DST), our DST11 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at BUF, projecting 3.5 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 3 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. BUF is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. He's being dropped at a 5.3% clip, and I don't think the market is wrong about it. He's still in 52% of lineups at 66% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
