Outlook Jadarian Price
Rookie First-Rounder Positioned for Workload Explosion in Seattle's Revamped Backfield
Seattle invested first-round draft capital in Jadarian Price, and circumstances have immediately paved the path for a lead role. With Zach Charbonnet sidelined on PUP following an ACL tear, Price opens his rookie campaign atop Seattle's backfield depth chart. Head coach Mike Macdonald and quarterback Sam Darnold have praised his versatile skillset, setting him up for high-volume usage.
Our projections forecast a productive debut campaign, slating Price for 200 carries, 900 rushing yards, and eight total touchdowns. While backfield touches may shift later, his immediate path to early-down work and passing-down involvement gives him weekly RB2 stability. Fantasy managers have responded, driving his roster rate to 98% with starting trust exceeding 70%.
Market momentum has stabilized his ADP in the late-seventh to eighth round (around 88 overall) in 1.0 PPR leagues. At that price tag, our models view Price as a legitimate draft-day value compared to his 188 projected fantasy points. Should he solidify the lead job, he could easily outperform his draft cost.

Outlook Rashid Shaheed
Expanding Route Tree Makes Deep Threat an Intriguing Late-Round Steal
After arriving via trade last season, Rashid Shaheed enters 2026 fully integrated into Seattle's passing attack. Beat reports highlighted his strong spring chemistry with starting quarterback Sam Darnold, which includes more short and intermediate work. Starting on the outside alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp gives him clear weekly route participation.
Our projections expect Shaheed to compile 50 receptions on 83 targets for 675 yards and four touchdowns, plus 75 yards on the ground. That projection aligns with his career-best 59 receptions from 2025 while offering an uptick in scoring efficiency as a primary perimeter weapon.
Draft sentiment has cooled sharply, with his ADP sliding from pick 138 in mid-August down toward 185 in full-PPR formats. Given his projected role, this price drop transforms Shaheed from an overlooked depth piece into a legitimate late-round steal who carries immense splash-play upside.
