What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Tahj Brooks (CIN RB), our RB80 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 1.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Nothing in the projection defends him — 90% below positional par is a bench line for me. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
