What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Seth McGowan (IND RB), our RB63 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at JAX, projecting 2.5 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 8.5 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. Roster share is moving +6.3% week over week, so the rest of the country is catching up. The projection sits about 77% under what a startable RB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Seth McGowan (IND RB), our RB63 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at JAX, projecting 2.5 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 8.5 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. On the road against JAX, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Roster share is moving +6.3% week over week, so the rest of the country is catching up. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
