Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price may be in line for his most productive NFL game yet when the team visits the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 15. Longtime Seahawks reporter Gregg Bell predicted before the matchup that Price could have his largest day as a pro.
The rookie is building momentum after missing four games with a chest injury. Price returned from injured reserve on Nov. 2 and made an impact against the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 8, gaining 24 yards on nine carries and catching four passes for 54 yards. His 78 yards from scrimmage helped Seattle earn a 17-3 victory.
## Price’s Receiving Could Add Another Dimension
Seattle’s backfield also features Zach Charbonnet, who ran for 77 yards on 16 carries against Arizona. Together, the two backs produced 101 rushing yards, giving the Seahawks a more balanced ground game.
Offensive coordinator Brian Fleury said the team is eager to build on Price’s work as a receiver after his injury interrupted that part of the offense. Price’s pass-catching ability could be especially useful with Sam Darnold sidelined and Drew Lock starting at quarterback. He gives Lock another option out of the backfield against Las Vegas.
## Jadarian Price’s Fantasy Outlook Against Las Vegas
The Raiders entered Week 10 allowing the most rushing yards in the NFL. Seahawks fantasy analyst Scott Engel viewed Charbonnet as a potential RB2 or flex starter and Price as a possible flex option. RotoBaller also considered the rookie a low-end flex candidate.
Price’s receiving production may make him more appealing in points-per-reception leagues. He scored 11.8 PPR fantasy points against Arizona without a touchdown, with his four catches accounting for nearly one-third of that total.
Charbonnet remains the safer fantasy choice based on recent usage: he had 16 carries against Arizona compared with Price’s nine and could continue to receive more short-yardage work. Price is a riskier start, but his potential could rise if Seattle gives him more touches.
With the Seahawks’ Week 11 bye approaching, the Raiders matchup could be an opportunity for Price to demonstrate what he can do in a larger role.
