What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Spencer Shrader (IND K), our K18 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 8.2 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Only 4% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. I have him at K18 because the projection lands about 9% clear of what a typical K banks in a week. Spicy heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
