Our Seahawks are heading into Week 10, and if you haven’t been paying attention to Jadarian Price, you need to start right now. The running back put up 11.8 fantasy points in Week 9, and believe me, that’s not a fluke. He’s about to be a major factor this week for the Emerald City.

Price Is Set To Explode For Our Hawks

Price hasn’t exactly lit up the ground game since coming off IR, but he’s been a rock-solid receiving option for our Hawks. Think about it: four catches and 11.8 fantasy points in Week 9. That’s real production! With an oblique injury impacting the quarterback position, expect our Seahawks to lean hard on the run game and short passes this week. Why? Because the Las Vegas Raiders, our opponents, have given up the third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. This is setting up for Price to go off.

Our Stiff Seattle Defense Is Ready To Feast

And while Price is getting ready to cook on offense, let’s talk about our defense, the backbone of the 12s. They’re about to face rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza in his first start for the Raiders. You know what that means, right? Our D-line is going to be hungry. This isn’t just any defense, this is a *stiff Seattle defense*, ready to box in the run game and force Mendoza to try and beat us through the air. Good luck with that. Ashton Jeanty, a Raiders running back, has already struggled to find running lanes this season and he’s seen rookie Mike Washington taking away a good chunk of his carries. Even with five catches in Week 9, Jeanty still only managed seven fantasy points. Our defense is going to make his life, and Mendoza’s, a nightmare.

So, when the Hawks hit the field against the Raiders, keep your eyes peeled for Jadarian Price making plays in the short game and our defense absolutely stifling their rookie QB. We’re talking real opportunities for our guys to shine. Get ready for some smash-mouth football and a big W for the Emerald City!
