What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ravens D/ST (BAL DST), our DST5 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 7.1 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 81% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. 7.1 projected points is roughly 9% more than the DST baseline, and that gap is the entire argument for the spot at DST5. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Spicy on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
