The Seattle Seahawks had one of the more frustrating backfields in all of Fantasy Football last season, with the split between Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet frustrating managers who had both running backs.
But, with Walker now in Kansas City and Charbonnet banged up, the running back room looks a whole lot different. Jadarian Price was a first-round pick, and with such value used to draft him, he's sure to see plenty of work in 2026.
But, what is its actual fantasy value this season? ESPN conducted a mock-draft in a 10-team format, and Price's value was revealed to be a fairly high pick for a rookie RB.
Seahawks' Jadarian Price projected as early FF draft pick
"51. Jadarian Price, SEA (RB23)," ESPN's Liz Loza selected in the sixth-round of this mock draft.
Price, the new Seahawks running back who was productive at Notre Dame as the backup to Jeremiyah Love, is the 51st pick in this mock draft exercise from ESPN.
Running backs are typically more valued than wide receivers, so it's not a surprise that he went off the board ahead of players like Rome Odunze, Zay Flowers, and Carnell Tate.

With the Seattle backfield down Walker, and likely Charbonnet for much of the start of the year, Price might settle in as a fairly high-volume back right away for Seattle.
He ran for 674 yards and 11 touchdowns for Notre Dame last year on 113 touches, with six catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns.
He's capable of being a quality running back for Fantasy Football purposes, and most importantly, he's going to get volume right away.
Still, the top of the sixth-round at pick No. 51 would be fairly rich for Price with so little known about his game. But if he gets the volume in the Seahawks offense, he could be a fantastic pick as a second RB or a FLEX to begin the season in Fantasy Football this year.
