What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tyler Shough (NO QB), our QB20 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 16.1 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Only 47% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. He grades 5% below the average weekly QB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. The Pepper Meter cools him to Spicy, and that reading is doing its job.
