Tommy Tremble's fantasy role in Week 10
Tommy Tremble goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a deep-league TE flyer for the CAR. He is rostered in 0% of leagues and actually started in 0% of them, and we rank him TE31 on our own weekly board at 3.3 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at NO. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting TE baseline of 7 points, his 3.3-point projection is 3.7 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Tommy Tremble in Week 10 if you have a real alternative — 3.3 projected points lands 3.7 under the TE starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another TE, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tommy Tremble (CAR TE), our TE31 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at NO, projecting 3.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 3.7 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 53% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at NO draw matters here — road snaps against NO shape how often he's asked to do something. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tommy Tremble (CAR TE), our TE31 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at NO, projecting 3.3 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 3.7 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. NO is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. He grades 53% below the average weekly TE number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
