Rookie RB Jadarian Price handles early downs in Seahawks’ opener

Sep 10, 2026

Jadarian Price received a clear majority of Seattle’s early-down snaps Wednesday night, confirming his place in the Kenneth Walker role. George Holani handled every third-down and two-minute snap.

Price was also removed near the goal line, where Emanuel Wilson entered once Seattle reached the five-yard line. A delay-of-game penalty prevented that possession from providing a clearer indication of Wilson’s scoring-area role.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet

Fantasy Impact:

The opener confirmed Price as Seattle’s primary early-down runner but also exposed a potentially damaging lack of passing-down and goal-line opportunities. He remains a viable RB3 while Charbonnet is sidelined, although negative game scripts could leave him with a pretty miserable floor.

Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt limited Wednesday

Washington Commanders

yesterday · 7:46 PM EDT

Jacory Croskey-Merritt was limited by a groin injury during Washington’s first official practice of Week 1. The Commanders have not provided further information concerning the injury’s severity.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Kaytron Allen

Fantasy Impact:

A Wednesday limitation alone does not place Croskey-Merritt’s availability in serious doubt, but the groin designation introduces uncertainty into an already close backfield projection. White would be positioned for considerably more work if Croskey-Merritt is limited or unavailable. Fantasy managers considering Croskey-Merritt as a flex should monitor Thursday closely.

Bears WR Rome Odunze limited with calf injury

The Bears did not practice on Wednesday, so player participation listed on the injury report is an estimation. Just one player was listed as DNP (did not practice): QB Tyson Bagent (back).

Listed as limited were WR Rome Odunze (calf) and OL Ozzy Trapilo (knee).

Fantasy Impact:

The limited estimate and positive trajectory keep Odunze on track for Sunday, but this is a new soft-tissue injury rather than maintenance related to his foot. An actual limited or full practice Thursday would be reassuring, while a DNP would elevate the concern. Burden and Loveland would be the primary target beneficiaries if Odunze cannot play.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers expected to miss "one or two" games

Raiders All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers underwent a meniscus trim Tuesday in Dallas with Dr. Daniel Cooper and now is expected to miss “a game or two”, league sources told @rapsheet and me. Bowers got banged up “a little in camp” and the injury was diagnosed last week and surgery scheduled.

Related Players: Michael Mayer, Ian Thomas, Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech

Fantasy Impact:

Bowers must be removed from Week 1 lineups but remains an obvious hold, with the initial timetable pointing toward a relatively short absence. Mayer becomes an immediate waiver addition and viable Week 1 streamer against Miami, with enough projected route and target volume to enter the TE1/2 fringe conversation. Tucker should also absorb additional targets, while Nailor and Bech receive smaller boosts. Bowers’ Week 2 availability appears doubtful, with Week 3 representing a reasonable but not guaranteed return target.
