Jadarian Price, the Seahawks’ first-round rookie running back, enters the 2026 season positioned for an early workload as the lead option following Kenneth Walker III’s departure and Zach Charbonnet’s recovery from a January ACL tear. Price handled first-team reps in the offseason and early camp before lower-body soreness limited his participation and kept him out of the preseason; he returned to full drills and started Week 1 against New England with six carries for 42 yards. Seattle’s backfield remains a committee, with George Holani expected to handle passing-down and short-yardage work, capping individual volume in a run-heavy scheme. Price’s college production at Notre Dame (strong efficiency and versatility) supports upside for season-long rushing totals, though rookie durability, shared touches, and a challenging early schedule will shape accumulation. Trader consensus reflects this blend of opportunity tempered by committee usage and health factors.
