Jadarian Price vs Kyle Pitts

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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?”

“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.”

“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.”

“The other player younger than Tuten is Jadarian Price , who has a looming split backfield with Zach Charbonnet .”

“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.”

“The much-maligned Kyle Pitts is being drafted in the seventh round.”

“Fantasy managers spent years paying for the Kyle Pitts breakout before it happened. Now that it finally did, no one seems interested in paying for it.”

“10.04: Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) This seems late for Pitts, but the concerns about the quarterback play in Atlanta are giving his stock a hit. That is a legitimate concern, but it should be noted that Tua Tagovailoa was able to get Mike Gesicki and Jonnu Smith career seasons.”

“There are compelling midrange options such as Sam LaPorta and Kyle Pitts .”

“isn’t exactly encouraging, but Kyle Pitts led the team in target share last season at 22.7%”

“Those are all elite numbers, and if Pitts had put up those stats all year, especially the fantasy points per game, he would have been the TE1 for fantasy. The problem is that with Drake London active, Pitts had a 19% target share, 42.2 receiving yards per game, 1.43 yards per route run, a 20.2% first-read share, 0.093 first downs per route run, and 9.6 fantasy points per game. All of those per route metrics were still quite strong, but the fantasy points per game mark would have made Pitts the TE20 last year.”

“Last year, Kyle Pitts had a tale of two seasons. Yes, overall it was a wonderful year as the TE5 in fantasy points per game and easily his best statistical season since his rookie year, but it was wildly different with Drake London in and out of the lineup. Without London, Pitts had a 26.7% target share with 84.4 receiving yards per game, 2.81 yards per route run, a 27.8% first-read share, 0.120 first downs per route run, and 19 fantasy points per game (per Fantasy Points Data).”

“Schultz finished tied with Jake Ferguson for third among tight ends in receptions behind only Trey McBride and Kyle Pitts . Schultz finished sixth among TEs in receiving yards.”

“Atlanta used the franchise tag to retain Pitts before reaching a three-year extension, making him the fourth highest-paid TE in the league. Pitts was “drafted to be great,” and 2025 saw Pitts return to high levels of production.”

“Kyle Pitts finished as the TE2 with just 9.8 fantasy points per game — the LOWEST ever for a TE2.”

“Overvalued: Kyle Pitts, Tight End (TE7, Pick 81 Overall) Pitts finished last season with 118 targets, 88 receptions, 928 yards, and five touchdowns. Many peg this as his breakout season, as he finally cracked out of the mediocrity of his last three seasons and came close to kissing the heights he reached in his first year. I, however, am bearish on his chances of returning to his top-five TE (TE2 OVR, TE5 per game) 2025 campaign.”
