What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tua Tagovailoa (ATL QB), our QB33 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 4.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. 4.6 points is roughly 73% short of the QB baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. He's listed out as of the update below; my rank assumes he plays, and designations move fast. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
