What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Travis Kelce (KC TE), our TE10 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DEN, projecting 6.5 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 0.5 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. The projection sits about 7% under what a startable TE returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. On the road against DEN, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Travis Kelce (KC TE), our TE10 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DEN, projecting 6.5 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 0.5 points of shortfall. Facing DEN away from home, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. He's still in 59% of lineups at 93% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Tina keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
