PositiveRoleAug 1, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks
Third-year player George Holani is part of the clear top three at running back with Zach Charbonnet on the physically unable to perform list; he is specializing in the third-down/two-minute role. Holani and Jadarian Price have typically rotated with the first unit, with Holani getting the first snap with the starting offense during the first team session and in general the two appearing to get pretty much equal work with the ones.

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.

On George Holani vs Jadarian Price Day 3: “Third-year player George Holani is typically still the first back in the lineup when the No. 1 offense takes the field, followed by Price and free-agent signee Emanuel Wilson.” Keeping tabs it’s been Holani every day so far - could change any time

The source dismisses George Helani as a threat to Jadari Price in Seattle's backfield, noting that while the team speaks positively about Helani, he has not shown significant usage. Even when stepping in during playoffs after Charbonnet's injury, Helani only saw passing-down work and check-down opportunities, not significant ground workload. The source argues that Price, as the most talented healthy back, should be the safe early-season pick.

The source dismisses George Helani as a threat to Jadari Price in the Seahawks backfield, noting that while people hear positives about Helani, he has not shown significant usage. Even when he had to step in during the playoffs after Charbonnet's injury, he only operated on passing downs with check-down work, not significant ground workload. The source argues this is inconsistent with concerns about Helani threatening Price, unlike how Ramondre Stevenson has factually operated as an RB1 compared to Travion Henderson.

NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
George Holani is positioned as a pass-down specialist in Seattle's backfield. The Seahawks retained him in the pass-down role even after Zach Charbonnet's injury, though his playoff usage was minimal (10 combined carries and targets in the NFC Championship and Super Bowl). With Kenneth Walker gone and another year of organizational trust, Holani could maintain his pass-down role, though Ian Hartitz frames this as the "overthinking guy" perspective—implying skepticism about his fantasy relevance despite the role clarity.

Based on how this reads, George Holani was the 1st RB with the 1st team, followed by Jadarian Price Wilson didn’t get many 1st team reps (listed in a different report in thread): “George Holani again worked with the starters at running back followed by first-round pick Jadarian Price, free-agent signee Emmanuel Wilson, veteran Velus Jones Jr.” Jadarian Price did have a few plays where his burst stood out according to the reports
