Newer update on Jadarian Price: Zach Charbonnet injury update: Seahawks won't activate him for Week 6 vs. Broncos, Week 7 return possible

Jadarian Price to IR: Don't Drop Seahawks RB in Week 5

Seattle placed Price on injured reserve with a chest injury, but his upside keeps him rostered in most leagues.

By Cole Hartwell

Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price has been placed on injured reserve with a chest injury, according to RotoBaller. The move means he will miss at least four games and won’t be eligible to return until Week 8 at the earliest.

What happened

Price suffered the chest injury in Week 3. Before the injury, he struggled in his first two games, scoring just 12.8 PPR points combined across Week 1 and Week 2, per RotoBaller. He carried the ball 23 times and was targeted four times in those contests.

The Seahawks designated Price to return, signaling that his rookie season is not over. RotoBaller notes the team has expressed that the injury will not end his 2026 campaign.

Context

Price was a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He hasn’t yet seen a workhorse role, but RotoBaller points out that rookies often need time to acclimate to the NFL. In Week 4, backup Emanuel Wilson stepped up with 27.0 PPR points, but Price’s raw athletic talent could still lead to a bigger role when healthy.

Sleeper data shows Price’s season totals through Week 4: 28 carries for 119 rushing yards, 7 targets, and 4 receptions for 21 yards. His snap share was 36%.

What’s next

Price won’t be eligible to return until Week 8 at the earliest. In the meantime, Emanuel Wilson is expected to lead Seattle’s backfield and is a priority waiver add for Week 5, per RotoBaller. Managers in shallow leagues with short benches might consider dropping Price, but most should stash him on IR or the bench.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Do not drop Jadarian Price in most leagues. He is a first-round rookie on a good offense and could return to a significant role later in the season. Stash him in an IR spot if available; if not, hold him on your bench unless your league is extremely shallow. Emanuel Wilson is the immediate beneficiary and should be added everywhere after his 27.0 PPR performance in Week 4. Wilson has a tough Week 5 matchup against the 49ers, but volume gives him flex value. If Wilson is unavailable, consider high-upside handcuffs like Emmett Johnson or Will Shipley, who has a path to playing time with Eagles injuries.

Quick answers

Is Jadarian Price out for the season?

No, Price was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, meaning his rookie season is not over. He will miss at least four games.

When can Jadarian Price return from injury?

Price won't be eligible to return until Week 8 at the earliest.

Who should I pick up to replace Jadarian Price?

Emanuel Wilson is the top pickup after his 27.0 PPR performance in Week 4, and he should lead Seattle's backfield while Price is out.
