Seattle's first-round pick has stood out in the passing game over the first three days of training camp, answering questions about his receiving ability. Price caught an over-the-shoulder touchdown from Sam Darnold deep down the field in a 7-on-7 period, made an outstretched catch in the flat on a slightly wide throw from Darnold, and snagged a low throw from QB3 Jalen Milroe. Veteran linebacker Ernest Jones IV praised Price's maturity and route-running, saying "He's good, man. Mature for his age, you can tell... I think he's going to help us. He's doing everything right." Price caught only 15 passes over three seasons at Notre Dame while backing up Jeremiyah Love, but early returns suggest that was a function of Love's strengths rather than Price's weaknesses.

NegativeRoleAug 1, 2026Field Gulls
Seahawks first-round rookie running back is a talented pure rusher but must develop as a complete back at the professional level. His lack of catches at Notre Dame has been flagged as a concern for a team looking to increase running back involvement in the passing game. Price acknowledged in his first media availability that pass catching is an area he has worked on since high school and continues to improve; he also noted that pass protection remains a work-in-progress but he is improving day-to-day in camp.

Seahawks first-round rookie running back Jadarian Price addressed concerns about his pass-catching ability and pass protection, stating he has worked on both since high school and has continuously improved throughout college. On pass catching, he emphasized that he has shown the ability in practice and continues to work on it; on pass protection, he acknowledged he is improving and has shown he can catch the ball in practice but still needs to demonstrate more pass protection work as the team takes it day by day in camp.

Drafted in the seventh round after starting as a fifth-round projection, representing significant ADP decline and value opportunity; source believes he can reach touchdown upside in a very good Seahawks offense in a Kenneth Walker-type role, even with George Helani mixing in as a pass catcher; main downside risk is Charbanet's return; source is bullish on his explosiveness and touchdown potential, noting positive vibes from beat reporters at OTAs and early training camp.

Dave Richard is struggling to rank Jadarian Price because while the opportunity has a chance to be there, he's not sold on it actually materializing. The highlights of him catching deep balls in training camp are fun, and he's probably a better talent than film showed last year (partly because there wasn't much film). However, Richard questions whether the Seattle coaching staff will give him the big workload of 15-plus touches per game. The coaching staff didn't give Kenneth Walker or Zach Charbonnet that type of workload; they split between them. Richard ranks Price around round six to early round seven as a cautious approach, and notes that Charbonnet could be back in week one, which makes him nervous the coaching staff won't give Price work even without Charbonnet there. Price has many hurdles to clear before being taken in early round six or late round five.

PositiveBreakoutJul 31, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Price is positioned as a second-half breakout candidate for Seattle; the Seahawks lost Kenneth Walker III in free agency and Zach Charbonnet is recovering from a torn ACL and unlikely to be 100% soon. Seattle ranked third in rushing attempts last year (25.8 per game), and while Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will have early-season roles, Price should emerge as a featured guy and push for a top-12 RB finish. At ADP 65.3 (RB26), Price offers league-winning upside.

Judarian Price's fantasy outlook hinges entirely on Charbonnet's availability. If Charbonnet is sidelined until November due to a full ACL reconstruction, Price could see significant early-season usage and fantasy relevance as an early-down runner in the Seahawks' high-scoring offense (28 PPG, third in the league last year). However, if Charbonnet is active and healthy, Price's value is severely limited because the team heavily favors Charbonnet for goal-line and early-down work. The source is excited about Price's upside in this offense contingent on Charbonnet's recovery timeline.

PositiveRoleJul 31, 2026FantasyPros Articles
The timeline for the presumed veteran ahead of Price is favorable for his early-season opportunity. The veteran's surgery didn't happen until February because doctors needed swelling to go down first, making an early return highly unlikely despite optimistic camp chatter. A more realistic recovery window lands closer to late October, with gradual re-integration planned with an eye toward playoff readiness rather than immediate full workload. If Price plays well over the first month while the veteran is out, there's a real scenario where he seizes the backfield outright and doesn't let go even after the veteran eventually returns.

Price is going around RB26–RB27, a price that has already fallen since the list was created. The source argues all risk is baked into his current cost while upside isn't. If he matches what a similar committee back did last year but sees more red-zone work, he clears his current cost easily. His rushing profile at Notre Dame was elite, ranking top 25 nationally in yards after contact per attempt and top 31 in breakaway run rate across his final two seasons.

We saw the Jadarian Price RB1 headlines yesterday, but it feels valuable to know there’s still a rotation with George Holani and he will still be a factor Take: It was always likely that Price is the starter - the question is how many touches and how many high value touches? Goal line? Receptions? What’s the split with Holani? I’m not sure we’ll know but I do think Holani will be the 3rd down back at a minimum.

The source argues all downside risk and none of the upside is baked into Jadarian Price's RB26 ADP (RB27 after Charbonnet news). The bull case: if Price gets early volume while Zach Charbonnet recovers from February ACL surgery (likely not back until late October at earliest), Price could establish himself as the lead back and prove he deserves red zone work. The source notes Price was fifth in yards after contact per attempt and third in breakaway run rate over his final two Notre Dame seasons, and showed receiving ability with a catch-over-the-shoulder clip. The source compares the upside case to Kenneth Walker's production but with more red zone opportunity. The source emphasizes the Seahawks wouldn't spend first-round draft capital on Price if they didn't plan to use him, and that Mike McDonald's run-heavy coaching background (Harbaugh lineage) supports a heavy rushing volume approach. The source also notes Price shared a backfield with Jeremiah Love at Notre Dame, so his counting stats shouldn't be held against him.

The source argues all downside risk and none of the upside is baked into Jadarian Price's RB26 ADP (now RB27). The bull case: if he gets early volume while Zach Charbonnet recovers from February ACL surgery (likely not back until late October at earliest), Price could establish himself as the lead back and prove he's better than George Helani or Emmanuel Wilson. The source emphasizes the first-round draft capital spent on Price means the Seahawks will give him opportunity; it would be malpractice not to. Price's talent profile includes fifth and 25th in yards after contact per attempt and third and 31st in breakaway run rate over his final two Notre Dame seasons, plus receiving upside (tracked a ball over his shoulder in recent tape). The source notes Price was behind Jeremiah Love in college, a better prospect, so his counting stats shouldn't be held against him. With Mike McDonald's run-heavy coaching background, the source expects Price to outperform his ADP significantly.
