The Seattle Seahawks underwent major changes at running back this offseason. Super Bowl 60 MVP Kenneth Walker III signed a lucrative contract with the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. General manager John Schneider responded to his departure by selecting former Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price with the 32nd pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
Elsewhere, Zach Charbonnet is recovering from a season-ending ACL injury suffered during the playoffs. Third-year running back George Holani is expected to take on a larger role. The Seahawks also signed former Green Bay Packers back Emanuel Wilson in free agency.
That might make the Seahawks' backfield too crowded to target in fantasy football this season. The expectation is that Price will inherit a large workload as a rookie. The situation is more complicated than that. If he's a slow starter, Holani is primed to take on the biggest role of his career.
New Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is expected to lean heavily on the ground-and-pound attack after being a run-game expert for Kyle Shanahan with the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks will probably have multiple backs involved in the offense. Price has the most exciting upside as a rookie, but this situation is tough to navigate for fantasy purposes.
