What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Terry McLaurin (WSH WR), our WR21 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 12.8 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. The math is unsexy and convincing: 12.8 points, 28% above what the position pays out on average. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 62% 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.
