About this Episode

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price, drafted in the first round of 2026 NFL draft, is predicted to be a must-have fantasy football player next season by ESPNs Jordan Reid. Prices versatility, explosive running, pass-catching abilities, and potential as a return specialist make him a promising addition to the Seahawks backfield, despite the departure of Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnets injury. However, his role as a returner might be limited due to Rashid Shaheeds presence, focusing more on offensive contributions. Prices potential to master pass protection and break long runs makes him a player to watch in both real life and fantasy football.

On April 27, Seattle Seahawks just snagged running back Jadarian Price in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Big move, and now ESPN's Jordan Reed is calling him a must-have rookie for fantasy football leagues next year.

He predicts Price could straight up win you a championship.

Kenneth Walker III bolted to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency, leaving a massive hole in Seattle's backfield.

Zach Sharbinay, who might have stepped up, tore his ACL in the playoffs and could miss time early next season.

Reed loves Price's versatility. He's explosive on runs, catches passes out the backfield, and even shines as a return specialist.

Fantasy owners are buzzing because that all around game means more touches and points.

But hold up, Seattle might not risk Price on kick returns with Rashid Shaheed already locking down that role as an elite returner.

Shaheed was huge for them late last year after joining from New Orleans, so Price stays fresh for offensive coordinator Brian Flourie's scheme.

Price steps into prime time as the lead back, and if he masters past pro and bust those 50 yard runs, he'll deliver in real life just like in your fantasy lineup.

Keep an eye on this rookie. He's got that potential to dominate.
