The Seahawks have placed RB Jadarian Price on IR with the chest injury that had already knocked him out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. That move means he'll also miss at least the ensuing three games, knocking Price out until at least Week 8.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: This Backfield's Officially Muddled
Price's absence puts Emanuel Wilson and George Holani in lineup consideration for the near term. His IR stint also coincides with Zach Charbonnet's three-week practice window in his own return from injury.
That means the Seahawks must either activate Charbonnet by Oct. 22 or place him on season-ending IR. That timeline would return Charbonnet for Week 7, a game before Price is eligible to return.
Wilson's the best current bet for fantasy usage, including this week against the Chargers. Holani belongs on a roster in deeper leagues. Charbonnet should be stashed everywhere.
The whole situation challenges Price's fantasy outlook even beyond his return. He's likely to find a committee backfield whenever he returns.
