Week 1 is done, and fantasy football managers are already diving into the numbers for Week 2, but for us here in the Emerald City, the biggest takeaway might just be how Jadarian Price is emerging as one of the most intriguing running back sleepers for the Seahawks. While the rest of the league scrambles to react to early surprises, Price is sitting at a sweet spot, ranked 27th overall in this week’s running back rankings.
Seahawks Running Backs Set to Explode Against Arizona
Our very own Jadarian Price is turning heads for a reason. He’s one of the most intriguing running back sleepers of the week, and the matchup is just chef’s kiss. Seattle’s offense created plenty of rushing room in Week 1, which is exactly what you want to hear when your guy is due for a big workload. Even better, Arizona rolls into Week 2 with one of the league’s least favorable defensive profiles against opposing running backs. That’s a massive green light for Price, who could easily outperform his ranking. Don’t sleep on George Holani either, coming in at #44; if he gets touches, he could also feast against that Arizona defense.
Week 1 Roller Coaster: Who’s Up, Who’s Down, and Who to Trust
Across the league, Week 1 showed us everything. Jahmyr Gibbs absolutely torched defenses, gaining 156 rushing yards and scoring twice. D’Andre Swift piled up a massive 32.4 fantasy points, and David Montgomery found the end zone three times. These guys immediately showed why they were high draft picks. But hold up, don’t overreact to a single game! Saquon Barkley, James Cook, and De’Von Achane all had pretty rough Week 1 performances. However, their talent and the sheer volume of their workload mean they’re still valuable starters and shouldn’t be benched. It’s a long season, and you have to trust the talent.
Steer Clear: Week 2 RB Busts to Avoid
While we’re hyping up our guys, it’s also smart to know who to fade. Quinshon Judkins struggled badly in his NFL debut for the Browns, only rushing for 33 yards on 12 carries, averaging a dismal 2.8 yards per carry. Now he’s facing Tampa Bay, making him a super risky Week 2 start. Tony Pollard is another one to watch out for. He split snaps almost evenly with Tyjae Spears in Week 1 and barely managed 34 total yards on eight touches. The Titans’ offense looked rough, and trusting Pollard against Philadelphia just seems like a bad bet this week.
The Seahawks are heading to Arizona for Week 2. Keep your eyes peeled for Jadarian Price to take full advantage of a favorable matchup and keep proving why he’s one of the best young running backs in the league!
