What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Sione Vaki (DET RB), our RB67 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs MIN, projecting 2.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 8.8 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. At home against MIN, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. The projection sits about 80% 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 Sione Vaki (DET RB), our RB67 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs MIN, projecting 2.2 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 8.8 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. At home against MIN, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. The projection sits about 80% under what a startable RB returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
