What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Tyler Higbee (LAR TE), our TE48 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 1.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. He grades 76% below the average weekly TE number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
