Myles Price's fantasy role in Week 8
Myles Price goes into Week 8 of the 2026 season as a deep-league WR flyer for the MIN. He is rostered in 1% of leagues and actually started in 0% of them, and we rank him WR113 on our own weekly board at 0.1 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 8 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at DET. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting WR baseline of 10 points, his 0.1-point projection is 9.9 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Myles Price in Week 8 if you have a real alternative — 0.1 projected points lands 9.9 under the WR starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another WR, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Myles Price (MIN WR), our WR113 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DET, projecting 0.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 9.9 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. 0.1 points is roughly 99% short of the WR baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Facing DET away from home, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Myles Price (MIN WR), our WR113 this week for Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season at DET, projecting 0.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 9.9 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. On the road against DET, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. The projection sits about 99% under what a startable WR returns, so I honestly can't pretend the price tag matches the output. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
