Examining Seahawks Rookie Jadarian Price's Fantasy Football Value
It’s almost that time of year again. People meet at someone’s house after pouring over notes and rankings for weeks on end. They reminisce on last season’s good fortunes or bad breaks. They point and laugh one more time at their league’s biggest loser, who undoubtedly had to suffer public shame of some kind due to finishing last in the group.
Yes, fantasy football is nearly upon us. Not every football fan does fantasy football, but it can still give us a snapshot into how valuable a player is to their team. Last season, Seattle had a few fantasy darlings. Jaxon Smith-Njigba ranked seventh in the entire league in fantasy points and second among all receivers. Sam Darnold ranked as the 14th-best quarterback as well.
Kenneth Walker III certainly racked up fantasy points last year as Seattle’s main back. He ranked 21st among running backs for points, which is good enough for “RB2” status with 12-team leagues. Certainly, worth a starting spot in most fantasy leagues. Now, he’s gone to Kansas City. Zach Charbonnet is still working back from a torn ACL late in the season last year, which likely will see him return around Halloween.
