What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tee Higgins (CIN WR), our WR20 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 12.9 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. Higgins clears the WR bar by about 29%, which is why he sits this high on my board. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 74% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps the Pepper Meter at Hot here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
