Latest takes
“Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) Going in a similar range to Tuten, Price offers a real boom case if his skill set fits his team’s scheme as well as expected, potentially relegating the incumbent starter to a backup role once that player returns from a serious injury.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 28“Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) “I’m targeting Seahawks rookie Jadarian Price in every draft. Let me start by saying that during the pre-draft process, I wasn’t in love with Price and his skill set, but if we have learned anything, it’s that opportunity matters more in redraft fantasy leagues than talent.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 27“Seattle lost Kenneth Walker III in free agency, while Zach Charbonnet is coming off a torn ACL and likely won’t be ready to play until the midway point of the season. Therefore, Price has a chance to be a massive steal with this draft pick, especially given his play at the start of training camp.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 26

“Price is a wonderful rushing talent ranking 25th and fifth in yards after contact per attempt, 31st and 3rd in breakaway rate, and 15th and 39th in elusive rating over the last two seasons in college (per PFF). Price is an intriguing RB2 with a ton of upside in 2026.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 24“Jadarian Price was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Seahawks to be their new Kenneth Walker (and maybe more). Walker led the backfield last year for Seattle, but they limited his usage in the red zone and in the passing game.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 24“Round 7: Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) Fellow Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is still recovering from his knee injury, meaning first-round rookie Jadarian Price has a chance to become the lead back.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) Believe it or not, Jeremiyah Love isn’t the only highly-touted rookie running back drafted from Notre Dame this offseason.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 19“Jadarian Price has a chance to lead this backfield with Zach Charbonnet still recovering from his knee injury. Price is explosive, and I’ll be curious to see if he gets passing game work in the NFL.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 18“Therefore, Price has a chance to be a massive steal at his current ADP, especially given his play at the start of training camp. Last year, the Seahawks had a run-first offense, ranking third in rushing attempts, averaging 25.8 per game from their running backs.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 16“Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) It was clear when Jadarian Price was drafted that he would carry the majority of the workload in Seattle. The Seahawks drafted him in the first round to replace Kenneth Walker III , and the team has treated him like a starter from the jump.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 11“If Charbonnet isn’t back and rookie Jadarian Price can’t adapt to the NFL quickly, could we see even more volume for Smith-Njigba?”
Tom Strachan· Aug 11“Jadarian Price is one of my favorite mid-round running back targets this season as he’s projected to open the year as Seattle’s No. 1 RB. Price was electric during his time at Notre Dame, averaging more than six yards per carry in each of his three seasons.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 7“Round 9: Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) With Kenneth Walker III leaving for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Seahawks drafted Jadarian Price in the first round.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 5“The other player younger than Tuten is Jadarian Price , who has a looming split backfield with Zach Charbonnet .”
Mike Anderson· Aug 3“Price was just selected in the first round by the reigning Super Bowl champions, who have an extremely run-heavy offense. Right now, his biggest competition for touches is George Holani , a 2024 UDFA with less than 100 career rushing yards.”
Ted Chmyz· Jul 27
“Bucky Irving (RB – TB) Following a phenomenal rookie season in 2024, Bucky Irving plummeted back to Earth last season, limping through 10 injury-laden games and finishing as the RB33. Irving was never himself, attempting to play through a lingering A/C joint sprain in his shoulder before sustaining a pedal sprain in Week 4 that sidelined him for six games. When he was on the field, the Buccaneers gave Irving plenty of work, but he couldn’t duplicate the explosiveness managers saw the year prior.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 28“There has yet to be a positive report about Bucky Irving this offseason.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 21“Bucky Irving has dealt with a number of injuries in his short career with a foot sprain and a shoulder/ AC joint sprain last year. Rewinding to 2024, he also dealt with hip, back, toe, and hamstring issues.”

“Bucky Irving , who is returning from a foot and shoulder injury that limited him to 588 rushing yards in 2025 after a breakout rookie campaign in 2024.”
Samuel DiSorbo· Aug 10“Check out all of DBro’s top fantasy football draft picks to target >> Bucky Irving (TB) It seems as if everyone in the fantasy community is fading Bucky Irving.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“If Bucky Irving struggles to stay healthy for the second consecutive season, Gainwell could have a career year”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 6“100 | (RB35) To be clear, Bucky Irving isn’t fading away despite a down season last year”
Kyle Zeigler· Aug 6“It’s odd that so many people are forgetting just how good Irving was over a fairly large sample size of games over the second half of his rookie season. Buy the dip.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 6“8 | Diff: +3 Over the last two seasons, with Bucky Irving in town, Rachaad White was a more effective per-touch player, but with Irving out of the lineup last year, he proved again that he can carry the mail (although while being horribly inefficient).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“Bucky Irving ‘s rookie season was as impressive as they come, considering his draft capital (125th overall).”
Wyatt Bertolone· Aug 3“Bucky Irving was the only top-12 drafted RB to miss more than two games.”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29“Bucky Irving finished as the RB13 his rookie year before slumping to an RB 34 playing 10 games the following season. More concerning than the games missed is his carries inside the 5-yard line in 2025: zero.”
Peter Kettering· Jul 24“Bucky Irving checks all the boxes when it comes to identifying a true “buy low” player.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 23“After finishing his rookie season as the RB13, averaging 14.4 PPR fantasy points per game, Bucky Irving regressed last year and struggled to stay healthy, missing seven contests. Furthermore, Irving had offseason shoulder surgery and might not be fully ready for training camp.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 19“Irving finished dead last in that metric among qualifying running backs last season, which sounds damning, but he ranked sixth in the same metric in 2024. The difference is the offensive line: Tampa Bay’s line ranked second in adjusted line yards during Irving’s rookie season and collapsed to 22nd last year due to injuries.”
