Jadarian Price
vs Rome Odunze

“Jadarian Price was seemingly placed in the perfect situation, drafted in the first round by the reigning Super Bowl champs and heading into a backfield where the only notable back, Zach Charbonnet , was rehabbing a torn ACL. Instead, Price has been stuck in a three-back committee with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani . He’s had a fumbling problem, which is surely contributing to the coaching staff’s lack of trust.”

“Jadarian Price is a bit of a mystery box after spending most of his college career behind Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame. He wasn’t asked to catch many passes, but that doesn’t mean he can’t.”

“Beat writer predicts "heavy dose" of George Holani Rookie Jadarian Price is ready to lead the Seattle Seahawks' backfield while it waits for Zach Charbonnet to return.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Rome Odunze has devolved into the “sacrificial X” for the Bears. He’s behind Luther Burden III and (shocker) Kalif Raymond in targets. I still have hope for him and Colston Loveland , but it’s quickly fading.”

“On top of that, Odunze has played 79.8% of his snaps out wide, where he will lock up with Mitchell and Woolen. Factoring all of that in, Odunze is a touchdown-dependent WR4/FLEX. Kalif Raymond Raymond still is not going away.”

“In the meantime, his departure and the terrible weather overshadowed an important development: Another week removed from a preseason calf strain, Rome Odunze was the Bears’ clear No. 1 WR against the Vikings. Odunze’s 81% route share was 10% higher than that of the next-highest player, Kalif Raymond .”

“Rome Odunze was on his way to a breakout season before he sustained a foot fracture. In Weeks 1-12, he was the WR21 in fantasy points per game despite dealing with a 68.3% catchable target rate (96th out of 127 qualifying receivers). During that stretch of games, among that sample of receivers, he was 21st in target share (22.4%), 20th in receiving yards per game (59.4), 27th in yards per route run (1.95), 25th in first-read share (27.2%), and 16th in first-downs per route run (0.107).”

“Rome Odunze (WR – CHI) After missing several games last year because of a foot injury, Rome Odunze is now dealing with another lower-body injury.”

“Rome Odunze (CHI) Odunze got off to one of the hottest starts last year.”

“Rome Odunze (CHI) – ADP 61.2 | WR27 Odunze got off to one of the hottest starts last year. The former Washington star was the WR3 over the first four weeks, averaging 19.9 PPR fantasy points per game.”

“Odunze fits this mold. While Burden dominates the short-to-intermediate areas, Odunze would win downfield and rule the red zone. This creates an elite WR1 ceiling for Odunze, locking him in as a highly efficient TD machine.”

“Rome Odunze is coming off a foot injury, but he did play in the playoffs.”

“Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is also dealing with some soft-tissue injuries that could hamper him, and Rome Odunze is coming off a foot injury (though he’s been cleared, it’s still worth noting).”

“Odunze remains a strong positive regression candidate tied to Caleb Williams , especially if the Bears’ passing game takes another step forward under HC Ben Johnson .”
