Despite being selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the defending champion Seattle Seahawks, Jadarian Price is not getting the respect a first-round running back generally receives.
There are some concerns that there could be some sort of committee in Seattle, but they are also projected to be one of the most run-heavy offensive attacks in the league. While Sam Darnold played well enough last season, their offense is still built on a tough defense and a superior rushing attack.
Rookie RB Jadarian Price may not get 20 carries per game, but he'll reportedly be a "big factor" even in a 2-3 back committee, per @JFowlerESPN pic.twitter.com/1JsqBxu2vb— SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) September 6, 2026Can You Trust Jadarian Price In Week 1?
There are some talks that this could be a three-man committee with Price handling the first two downs. That would leave the majority of the passing-down work to George Holani and Emanuel Wilson, who looked great with the Green Bay Packers last season, to work in as well.
That sounds concerning for Price's fantasy value. However, based on his ADP, he was generally drafted to be a low-end RB2 or flex option. In that offense, he should still see more than enough work to make him a fantasy-viable flex option or RB2.
