What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Saquon Barkley (PHI RB), our RB27 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at WSH, projecting 6.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 4.2 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 38% under what a startable RB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. He's listed questionable as of the update below; my rank assumes he plays, and designations move fast. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Saquon Barkley (PHI RB), our RB27 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at WSH, projecting 6.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 4.2 points of shortfall. Nothing in the projection defends him — 38% below positional par is a bench line for me. He's listed questionable as of the update below; my rank assumes he plays, and designations move fast. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
