What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Tyjae Spears (TEN RB), our RB39 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 9.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. 3% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Nothing in the projection defends him — 17% below positional par is a bench line for me. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
