What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Rome Odunze (CHI WR), our WR42 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at SEA, projecting 5.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 4.1 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 41% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at SEA draw matters here — road snaps against SEA shape how often he's asked to do something. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Rome Odunze (CHI WR), our WR42 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at SEA, projecting 5.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 4.1 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. 32% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The projection sits about 41% under what a startable WR returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
