Outlook Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold vs NE at Home — Primetime Spotlight in Season Opener
Sam Darnold begins his second campaign at the helm in Seattle as a healthy starter and Week 1 team captain against New England at Lumen Field. Surrounded by a potent receiving corps including Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed, Darnold is well-positioned to command the offense without hindrance.
Rostered in roughly 39% of leagues with just a 5% start rate, fantasy managers currently view him as a fringe option. However, Seattle enters as home favorites, and our weekly projections anticipate 191 passing yards and 1.3 touchdowns (15.0 fantasy points). While his minimal rushing capability limits a high floor, his capable weapons make him a serviceable streaming candidate or Superflex starter.

Outlook Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price vs. NE — Primed for a Lead Role in NFL Debut
The rookie first-rounder steps directly into Seattle's lead running back role for Week 1 at home against New England, especially with Zach Charbonnet sidelined on PUP following a knee injury. With George Holani and Emanuel Wilson backing him up, Price is positioned to handle the bulk of early-down work after earning high praise for his all-around versatility in camp.
Our weekly projections expect immediate dividends, modeling him for roughly 13 carries, 56 rushing yards, and nearly 12 fantasy points. Fantasy managers are already trusting him with a 76% start rate, and as home favorites, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a strong RB2.
