What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Xavier Worthy (KC WR), our WR43 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 10.2 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. 5% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. I have him at WR43 because the projection lands about 2% clear of what a typical WR banks in a week. 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.
