He finished with 44% snap share and 8 of 23 RB opportunities (52%), getting 8 of 20 carries and 0 of 3 targets.

Backup running back can continue to provide pass-protection experience in the backfield while Jadarian Price develops in that area. The source indicates Holani's role is to help Price gradually improve his blocking skills.

Holani handled all third-down and passing-down work for the Seahawks in Week 1, including the two-minute drill, despite Jadarian Price being the primary running back. If Sam Darnold's injury lingers and Drew Lock takes over at quarterback, Holani should see plenty of usage, especially if the Seahawks play from behind. The goal-line role is still undetermined; if Holani earns that responsibility as well, he will bring significant value moving forward.

Here is some actual data regarding Jadarian Price's NFL debut last night (per @FantasyPtsData) - 50.0% Snap Share (51.9% of Passing Snaps) - 33.3% of Red Zone Snaps - 5.20 YPC - 0 Explosive Runs - 70.0% Success Rate - 2.90 YACO/Att - 0.20 MTF/Att 90% of his rush attempts were Zone Concepts, and he ran 11 total routes (40.7% route share) - In comparison, George Holani ran 7 routes (25.9% route share) and had a 41.7% snap share I think Holani's snap share and touch metrics were a little skewed...

NegativeDepth ChartSep 10, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Holani holds marginal value as roster depth in the near term, but faces significant downside risk. Zach Charbonnet's eventual return from a knee injury should supplant Holani as the No. 2 back, and Jadarian Price's explosive performance in limited Week 1 touches suggests touch allocation may shift away from Holani in Week 2 and beyond.

Holani had eight carries for 29 yards in Week 1 against New England; he was targeted once but did not catch the pass. He split backfield duties with rookie Jadarian Price (10 carries) and Emanuel Wilson (2 carries), but was notably less effective than Price despite similar opportunity share.

Had eight carries for 29 yards but outside of his first carry, drives were dying with his touches. Had three 'successful runs' and none in the second half. Byron Murphy II notes he doesn't have that extra burst or strength to barrel over first-team caliber defenders and isn't very fast. At 40 career NFL carries, still doesn't have an explosive run. Touches should be reduced once Jadarian Price is ready for heavier workload and Zach Charbonnet returns.

Jadarian Price was easily the most efficient Seahawks RB tonight. That's the good news. George Holani was the clear pass-down back, as expected. Price still led the backfield in routes (12-8, via early PFF numbers) and got two targets. 12 routes on 28 dropbacks is perfectly fine for the first game of your NFL career. The real bad news: Emanuel Wilson was the short-yardage back. Got stuffed on a 3rd & 1 from the NE 45 then remained in the game for 4th & 1 when JSN scored the long touchdown. La...

8 carries in Week 1; widely panned as significantly worse than Price on film. Nearly 27 years old with minimal career production. Despite poor performance, still received goal-line and short-yardage work, frustrating Price owners. Holani is a JAG (just a guy) who should not be getting this volume; his continued usage is a coaching decision, not merit-based. One comment noted he only got 1 of 3 short-yardage attempts, suggesting even the Seahawks may be reconsidering. Unlikely to maintain current touch share if Price continues to outperform.

I believe George Holani also got the 1 true short yardage play (also a 3rd down run) Pretty much exactly how it was reported so far, but I think short yardage can easily be up for grabs Jadarian Price looks good, but Darnold injury will hurt
