Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jadarian Price
From the article
all 12 of Price's touches came on first or second down on Wednesday night...Price didn't play a single snap on third and fourth down...looked an awful lot like how Seattle treated the Kenneth Walker III and Zach Chabonnet backfield in 2025.
STACKED’s take
Price's early-down-only role mirrors Walker's 2025 split; boom-or-bust flex, not RB2.
Rookie running back Jadarian Price passed the eye test with explosive play and strong outside zone running, handling 59% of RB carries and running routes on 39% of early-down dropbacks (both team-highs). However, all 12 of his touches came on first or second down; he didn't play a single snap on third/fourth down (George Holani 75%, Emanuel Wilson 17%) or see significant red zone work (2 snaps vs. Holani's 4). This split mirrors how Seattle deployed Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet in 2025, when Walker was RB29 in PPG. Price went off the board around RB25 in Yahoo ADP. Harmon sees him as boom-or-bust flex rather than RB2 unless he runs away with the job or Seattle's rushing ecosystem improves.
