Rookie started because Zach Charbonnet (knee) is out. Played well on 50% of the snaps with a 50% success rate and forced missed tackles on roughly half his carries, finishing with 10 carries for 52 yards (added two catches as well). However, George Holani, not the rookie, owned Seattle's confirmed red-zone touches, earning 2 carries inside the 15 on the same drive that ended with Cooper Kupp's called-back touchdown. The source is concerned that Seattle will continue to deploy a committee and reintroduce Charbonnet when he returns to the lineup. As good as Price looked, you can't disregard this team's love affair with Charbonnet.

Ranked RB25 for Week 1 with tough two-star matchup rating despite real clean opportunity given teammate's continued absence. Bull case points to real positive team context as home favorites wanting to establish run, plus real positive camp buzz about pass-catching improvement. One the source believes his specific running style could exploit real weakness in opposing defense's edge and coverage linebacker play, drawing direct parallel to similar running style that torched same defense in marquee game last season.

Price was selected in the first round by Seattle to be their new Kenneth Walker. He is a wonderful rushing talent ranking 25th and fifth in yards after contact per attempt, 31st and 3rd in breakaway rate, and 15th and 39th in elusive rating over his last two college seasons (per PFF). Price remains an unknown in the passing game after only 13 targets over two collegiate seasons at Notre Dame. New England held backs to the fifth-lowest explosive run rate last year but gave up the ninth-highest rushing success rate, 11th-lowest stuff rate, and fourth-highest zone rushing success rate, creating running room for Price in Week 1.

Jadarian Price is a strong start for Week 1 as the Seahawks' first-round pick selected to be their new lead back. Price is a wonderful rushing talent ranking 25th and 5th in yards after contact per attempt, 31st and 3rd in breakaway rate, and 15th and 39th in elusive rating over his last two college seasons (per PFF). He should find plenty of running room against New England, which held backs to the fifth-lowest explosive run rate but gave up the ninth-highest rushing success rate, 11th-lowest stuff rate, and fourth-highest zone rushing success rate. Seattle's rushing attack ranked seventh in zone rushing rate last year, creating favorable conditions for Price's skill set.

Price was selected in the first round by the Seahawks to be their new Kenneth Walker and potentially more. Derek Brown identifies him as an intriguing RB2 with a ton of upside in 2026. Price is a wonderful rushing talent: 25th and 5th in yards after contact per attempt, 31st and 3rd in breakaway rate, and 15th and 39th in elusive rating over his last two college seasons at Notre Dame (per PFF). He could easily surpass Kenneth Walker's red zone usage.
PositiveRoleSep 5, 2026
Price has a massive opportunity to take the lead-back role for the Seattle Seahawks this season with Zach Charbonnet sidelined for at least four weeks with an ACL injury. The source projects him as the bell-cow back for one of the top offensive teams in the league with a chance to put up high-end RB2 numbers through the first few weeks, with potential for RB1 production if Charbonnet needs extended recovery. Seattle tied for the third-most rushing attempts last season (507).

Price is a mystery-box Zero RB target in the late-fifth or early-sixth round (ECR: RB25). Despite limited pass-catching work at Notre Dame, he showed impressive catches on Hard Knocks. He missed preseason with minor soreness but should be healthy. With Zach Charbonnet sidelined, Price will get significant touches and lead the backfield; his first-round draft capital suggests plenty of early volume, making him one of the first running backs to target for Zero RB builds.
PositiveSleeperSep 1, 2026
With Zach Charbonnet sidelined on the PUP list for the first four games and backup George Holani having only 24 touches last season across 11 games, Price has an excellent chance to overtake the Seahawks backfield. Coming out of Notre Dame as second fiddle to Jeremiyah Love, Price was drafted at the end of the first round in 2026 due to his explosiveness and passing-game potential. The source notes he should have plenty of lead opportunities on a Super Bowl-winning team. At RB25 ADP in PPR, Price represents significant value.

The news that Price won't play in the final two preseason games for the Seattle Seahawks signals the team wants to put him in bubble wrap before the season, indicating they plan to use the rookie running back heavily. With Zach Charbonnet still on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list recovering from a knee injury, Price and George Holani are the most important backs in the competition. Price did miss time in camp with lower-body soreness but returned to padded practice and was again running with the starting offense. For a rookie with first-round draft capital, pass-catching ability and a high early-season workload, Price's stock is moving up.

The Seahawks selected Price in the first round and he has consistently been involved with the first-team offense throughout training camp, receiving the first rep in Seattle's first full-team scrimmage and working alongside George Holani with the starters. Head coach Mike Macdonald specifically noted that Price has caught a lot of passes and that the team is finding multiple ways to use him out of the backfield, establishing him as a multi-purpose threat.

Price was selected in the first round by the Seahawks to be their new Kenneth Walker and potentially more. He's an intriguing RB2 with a ton of upside in 2026; he's a wonderful rushing talent ranking 25th and 5th in yards after contact per attempt, 31st and 3rd in breakaway rate, and 15th and 39th in elusive rating over his last two collegiate seasons at Notre Dame per PFF. He remains unknown in the passing game after only 13 targets over two college seasons, but could easily surpass Walker's red zone usage. He's competing with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani for work, with uncertainty around Zach Charbonnet's health status.
PositiveBreakoutAug 20, 2026
Price is a pick because the opportunity could get big in a hurry. Seattle has a lot of backfield volume up for grabs, and with Zach Charbonnet still working back from his ACL injury, Price has a real chance to establish himself as the lead back early. The fit in a Seattle offense that wants to run the ball should give him scoring opportunities near the goal line. If his receiving role is better than it was at Notre Dame, that is where the top-12 upside really starts to show.
PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
Selected with the final pick in the first round, Price was brought in by Seattle to fill the vacancy left by Kenneth Walker III. With Zach Charbonnet's return timeline uncertain, Price seems set to dominate touches early in the season; Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will occasionally spell him but lack his upside. At Notre Dame, Price proved to be a bruising back difficult to tackle, with ability to run inside or outside the tackles reminiscent of the back he's replacing. Despite a strong projected workload and uncertainty behind him, Price is ranked as RB26 in ECR, behind committee/rotational backs like Quinshon Judkins, Bhayshul Tuten, and TreVeyon Henderson—the source will invest in Price wherever possible.
