What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Xavier Worthy (KC WR), our WR46 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DEN, projecting 5.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 4.2 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. DEN is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. He's being dropped at a 3% clip, and I don't think the market is wrong about it. 31% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
