What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tee Higgins (CIN WR), our WR12 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs TEN, projecting 9.7 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 0.3 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. The vs TEN draw matters here — home snaps against TEN shape how often he's asked to do something. He's still in 76% of lineups at 97% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Sally keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tee Higgins (CIN WR), our WR12 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs TEN, projecting 9.7 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina plays contrarian — with 76% start rate he's priced in, and she cares more about his floor than his name. He's still in 76% of lineups at 97% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. 9.7 points is roughly 3% short of the WR baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
