What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tetairoa McMillan (CAR WR), our WR16 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 13.9 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. 88% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The math is unsexy and convincing: 13.9 points, 39% above what the position pays out on average. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Hot on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
