Why Jadarian Price
Start· mediumRookie RB atop the depth chart. Explosive, home-run-speed runner with no prior NFL sample.
Named the Week 2 starter with Seattle a 10-point favorite and a 27.3 implied total — RB23 projection in a run-heavy script beats replacement.
- ARI ranks 7 of 32 against RBs (one of the tougher matchups, 1-game sample).
- Vegas implies 27.3 team points as 10.0-point favorites.
- Listed RB on the latest depth chart with a 48% snap share.
The call
- Role is confirmed, not projected: Price will start at running back after 10 carries for 52 yards (5.2 YPC) plus 2 catches in his debut, and he's listed as the RB on the depth chart.
- Game script is ideal — Seattle is favored by 10 with a 27.3 implied total, the profile that turns a starting back into fourth-quarter carries and goal-line work.
- The DvP composite reads 7 of 32 (tough) but it's a one-game sample with 0.00 confidence, so it shouldn't outweigh volume; ESPN's Cockcroft also likes the Arizona matchup for him.
- Main risk is the 48% snap share and 8% target share — this is still a shared backfield, which caps the ceiling if Seattle stays balanced.
Latest on Price
Price will start at running back for Seattle in Week 2 at Arizona after rushing for 52 yards on 10 carries (5.2 yards/attempt) and catching 2 passes for 6 yards in his NFL debut against New England.
SI.com (OnSI), Yahoo Sports (Seahawks Wire) · Sep 17, 2026Seahawks rookie Jadarian Price is looking forward to playing against his former teammate and Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love on Sunday.
