What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Rome Odunze (CHI WR), our WR23 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 12.5 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. I have him at WR23 because the projection lands about 25% clear of what a typical WR banks in a week. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. He's listed questionable as of the update below; my rank assumes he plays, and designations move fast. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Hot here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
