What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Woody Marks (HOU RB), our RB43 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 4.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 6.4 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 4.6 points is roughly 58% short of the RB baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.

Tina's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Woody Marks (HOU RB), our RB43 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 4.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 6.4 points of shortfall. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Roster share is bleeding 4% this week, which lines up with what the projection already told me. 25% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
