What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Tank Dell (HOU WR), our WR101 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 1.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 8.6 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. 1% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The projection sits about 86% under what a startable WR 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 Tank Dell (HOU WR), our WR101 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 1.4 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 8.6 points of shortfall. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 1% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
