What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tez Johnson (TB WR), our WR86 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ATL, projecting 3.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 7 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. At home against ATL, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. The projection sits about 70% under what a startable WR returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tez Johnson (TB WR), our WR86 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs ATL, projecting 3.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 7 points of shortfall. 3 points is roughly 70% short of the WR baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. Facing ATL in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
