What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Wil Lutz (DEN K), our K22 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 8.0 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. Only 6% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. The math is unsexy and convincing: 8 points, 7% above what the position pays out on average. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. Spicy on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
