What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ted Hurst III (TB WR), our WR73 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ATL, projecting 3.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 6.1 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 3% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Nothing in the projection defends him — 61% below positional par is a bench line for me. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Ted Hurst III (TB WR), our WR73 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ATL, projecting 3.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 6.1 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. ATL is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. 3% 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.
