Field Gulls on Jadarian Price
From the article
He's shown some flashes of explosive runs and an ability to be a receiving threat out of the backfield, so there's been a good helping of promising plays. He's also put the ball on the ground twice in as many weeks... Price has five fumbles in 15 games. That's five fumbles over 141 carries, or one on every 28 attempts.
STACKED’s take
Jadarian Price's fumbling problem (5 in 141 carries) threatens his workload and fantasy value.
Seahawks rookie RB has fumbled twice in two weeks despite being a first-round pick expected to be an immediate contributor. Price showed flashes of explosive runs and receiving ability, but ball security is a legitimate concern: he has five fumbles on 141 carries (one per 28 attempts) across his final Notre Dame season and first two NFL games. He fumbled three times on 113 carries at Notre Dame, with all three occurring inside the opposition 10-yard line. After his second fumble, the Seahawks benched him until late in the first half of their loss to Washington, limiting him to six total touches for 21 yards. Coach Mike Macdonald said Price "will be fine" and will "figure it out," but the fumbling is a weakness that opposing defenses will attack and may suppress his workload until he earns coaching staff trust. Unlike James Cook (six fumbles on 309 carries with league-leading rushing yards), Price hasn't built the equity to absorb fumbles through elite production.
