Seahawks Beat: Jadarian Price expected to lead backfield in carries

Andrew Destin

Sep 04 · 10:34 AM EDT

The Athletic’s Andrew Destin anticipates that Price will be featured primarily on first and second downs to begin the season. George Holani is projected to handle third downs, pass-protection assignments, short-yardage situations and much of the goal-line work, with Emanuel Wilson occasionally mixing in.

Price should receive the largest share of Seattle’s rushing opportunities while Zach Charbonnet remains on the PUP list recovering from January’s torn ACL. Once Charbonnet returns, Destin expects him to pair with Price while Holani moves back into a third-string role.

Fantasy Impact:

Price appears positioned to lead Seattle in carries, but Destin’s anticipated distribution would leave him without a true three-down role and potentially without many of the backfield’s most valuable touches.

Ceding passing-down, short-yardage, and goal-line work to Holani would make Price more reliant on rushing volume and explosive plays, limiting his early-season ceiling despite Charbonnet’s absence. Holani consequently carries some deep-league and touchdown-dependent value during the opening month. Price’s ranking is already eight spots ahead of market ADP, so this alone does not demand a change, but confirmation of Holani as the primary goal-line back would be worth monitoring.

Seahawks Beat: RB Jadarian Price set for big role

Pro Football Talk

Aug 31 · 12:03 PM EDT

The Seahawks made it official that running back Zach Charbonnet will start the season on the physically unable to perform list, and that makes it clear how big a role rookie running back Jadarian Price is going to have in the defending champions’ offense.

Price is the clear-cut No. 1 running back in Seattle, and backing him up will be George Holani, who gained just 73 yards on 22 carries last season, and Emanuel Wilson, a career backup in Green Bay who signed with the Seahawks this offseason.

Fantasy Impact:

We all saw this coming once the Seahawks spent first round draft capital on Price this past spring. Price was a popular name in dynasty leagues all summer long but with redraft league drafts approaching quickly, or already taking place, Price is going to make for a popular RB selection after a lot of the bigger names fall off the board. As the story said, last year the Seahawks used a two-back system with Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker sharing carries. Walker left in free agency and the Seahawks did not add any notable running backs other than Price. We list Price as RB22, but if his passing work can develop there is certainly room to improve on that ranking.

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price returns to practice

News Tribune

Aug 18 · 5:45 PM EDT

Jadarian Price returned to full participation in practice Monday for the first time in more than a week. The rookie first-round draft choice went right into the starting offense as the lead running back. He took handoffs and caught passes from quarterback Sam Darnold in the shells-and-helmets practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Price had missed the previous five full practices with what coach Mike Macdonald described as a sore upper leg, the story said. The story mentioned Price will be the lead back, but we've seen reports saying it will be more of a committee. However, with Charbonnet still out because of his knee injury, Price's competition is Wilson and Holani. It makes sense to ease Price into a big workload, but with Charbonnet's timeline unknown, it's easy to see a path toward Price being the team's RB1.

Seahawks Beat: Team likely to use committee at RB

ESPN

Aug 03 · 2:40 PM EDT

It's not known when Zach Charbonnet will be ready to play or how the work will be split up once last year's co-starter returns after having ACL surgery in February. In the meantime, incumbent George Holani, first-round pick Jadarian Price and free agent addition Emanuel Wilson are all competing for their share of what's likely to be a three-player backfield committee.

Fantasy Impact:

According to the rest of the story, early indications suggest that Holani and Price will be the top two options, with Wilson mixing in as a powerful complement.
