What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Zachariah Branch (ATL WR), our WR95 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at TB, projecting 1.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 8.1 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. TB is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. He grades 81% below the average weekly WR number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Zachariah Branch (ATL WR), our WR95 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at TB, projecting 1.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 8.1 points of shortfall. Nothing in the projection defends him — 81% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at TB draw matters here — road snaps against TB shape how often he's asked to do something. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
