What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Samaje Perine (CIN RB), our RB47 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs TEN, projecting 4.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 6.7 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He grades 61% below the average weekly RB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. TEN 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 Samaje Perine (CIN RB), our RB47 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs TEN, projecting 4.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 6.7 points of shortfall. 4.3 points is roughly 61% short of the RB baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. Facing TEN in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
