Seattle's backfield turned into a 3-man committee in Denver on Thursday night, with WR-turned-RB Velus Jones seeing his most extensive action of the season. RB Emanuel Wilson led the way with 14 carries but mustered just 52 scoreless yards. Jones hit the field on the Seahawks first possession and finished with 4 carries for 20 yards, plus 1 catch for minus-1 yard. RB George Holani led the trio in fantasy points thanks to a 1-yard TD late in the fourth quarter. He benefited from trailing game script, pacing Seattle's RBs with a 58% snap rate and 50% route rate. Wilson played 32% of the offensive snaps; Jones 11%.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Short-Term Avoid, Long-Term Value Still Possible
This backfield is about to get even messier with RB Zach Charbonnet reportedly on track to make his 2026 debut in Week 7. RB Jadarian Price is eligible to come off IR for Week 8.
We'll keep tabs on those guys, but this looks like a backfield to avoid in fantasy lineups at least for Week 7's difficult matchup against the Chiefs.
Charbonnet and Price remain worth stashing as the best touch bets when healthy.
Seattle has the fourth-easiest RB schedule from Week 8 on, including particularly attractive spots against the Cowboys in Week 13 and Panthers in Week 17.
