What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Tucker Kraft (GB TE), our TE9 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CAR, projecting 6.6 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 0.4 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. He grades 6% below the average weekly TE number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. CAR is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.

Tina's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Tucker Kraft (GB TE), our TE9 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season vs CAR, projecting 6.6 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Tina's pushback: 75% of leagues start him, so you gain nothing on your opponent here — the edge is elsewhere. At home against CAR, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. He's still in 75% of lineups at 92% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Tina keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
