Outlook Jadarian Price
First-Round Rookie Steps Into Immediate Lead Workload in Seattle
First-round draft capital instantly thrusts Jadarian Price into a featured role in Seattle's backfield, especially with Zach Charbonnet sidelined to open the year. Head coach Mike Macdonald and quarterback Sam Darnold have routinely praised the rookie's versatile playmaking, cementing his position atop the depth chart.
Our projections forecast a productive debut campaign, estimating 210 rushing attempts for 875 yards and seven touchdowns, supplemented by 23 receptions. Price's agility and pass-catching ability give him a stable weekly touch floor in both standard and 1.0 PPR formats.
Draft market momentum has steadily pushed Price's ADP up from the mid-70s into the sixth-to-seventh-round range as managers recognize his starting path. Even with the rising draft cost, our models view him as an appealing upside value capable of delivering quality RB2 production.

Outlook Rico Dowdle
Reunion With Mike McCarthy Offers Solid Flex Appeal in Pittsburgh Backfield
Rico Dowdle arrives in Pittsburgh reunited with Mike McCarthy after productive multi-year stints in Dallas and Carolina. Working in tandem with Jaylen Warren in the Steelers' backfield, Dowdle is positioned for a reliable rotational workload, providing valuable depth and consistent complementary touches between the tackles.
Our models project Dowdle to handle 200 carries for 865 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground, adding 23 receptions on 44 targets for 188.0 fantasy points. Having logged over 230 carries in consecutive seasons, he brings proven volume capabilities to Pittsburgh's run game.
Draft market sentiment has cooled noticeably on Dowdle, with his ADP dropping from the mid-80s into the late-round range around pick 114 in 1.0 PPR formats. With start rates sitting near 40%, his falling draft cost turns him into a clear value target for zero-RB or depth-focused drafters.
