Jadarian Price Fantasy Stats

The Seattle Seahawks have selected Notre Dame running back prospect Jadarian Price with the 32nd and final pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The opening night of the draft concludes with two running backs off the board, and both of them were from Notre Dame. Together, Price and new Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love made history, marking the first time in the common draft era that the first two running backs selected were from the same school. As the 1B option behind Love, Price racked up 761 scrimmage yards and 13 offensive touchdowns (plus two special teams touchdowns) last year. He's the early favorite to open the 2026 season as the Seahawks' primary running back after they lost Kenneth Walker III to the Chiefs in free agency. Since Zach Charbonnet (knee) is still working his way back from an ACL tear, Price's main competition in this backfield is free agent signing Emanuel Wilson. The Notre Dame product ranks as the RB26 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings, and he has even higher upside given his prominent role in a successful, Super Bowl-winning offense.

Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price isn't even the top ball-carrier from his own school, yet he has the potential to be a first-round pick in fantasy football rookie drafts this offseason. Notre Dame is responsible for the top two running backs in RotoBaller's rookie rankings, with Jeremiyah Love at #1 overall and Price at #10 overall (including #2 among running backs). It's surprising to see so much praise for two players from the same program, but it's also justified. Price had 674 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns in 2025, and he finishes his collegiate career with a whopping average of 6.0 yards per carry. That level of production will put him in the mix to be a starter at some point during his rookie season, if not Week 1. The landing spot will paint a clearer picture of Price's fantasy outlook, but for now, his RotoBaller ranking indicates that he could be an impactful fantasy option right away.
