Seahawks RB Jadarian Price in Line for Big Role, Charbonnet Out
Aug 31, 2026
Price steps into a heavy workload
Seattle made it official: running back Zach Charbonnet will begin the season on the physically unable to perform list. With the veteran sidelined, rookie Jadarian Price is set for a much bigger role in the backfield of the defending champions.
The move settles any question about how Seattle plans to distribute early-season carries. Price isn't just a depth option now — he's positioned for real volume out of the gate.
What it means for a Seahawks survivor pick
Leaning on a rookie back is a wrinkle worth noting before you lock in a Seahawks survivor pick. Price's projected workload gives Seattle a functional ground game, but a first-year runner carrying the load adds a layer of uncertainty you don't get from a settled veteran committee. If you're considering Seattle as a safe pick, weigh the matchup and whether the rookie backfield holds up before committing your only-use-once entry.
