News: 1 day agoHolani could get most of the opportunities on third down and in passing situations while Jadarian Price gets the majority of early-down work to begin the regular season, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.

Spin: The Seahawks seem to trust Holani's receiving and pass-blocking abilities, which should allow the 26-year-old running back to earn a prominent role out of the gate, though the rookie first-round pick Price is the leading candidate to get most of the rushing opportunities. Zach Charbonnet (knee) also could earn a sizable role once healthy, but he'll miss at least the first four weeks of the season while on the reserve/PUP list and could be out well beyond then. Emanuel Wilson (hamstring) rounds out the running back depth chart.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Holani is on the 2026 fantasy radar with Kenneth Walker III no longer on the Seattle roster and Zach Charbonnet (ACL) in doubt for the early portion of the season. Holani will compete with rookie Jadrian Price and Emanuel Wilson for touches while Charbonnet is sidelined. The 2024 UDFA has 25 carries and three targets to his name through two NFL seasons. Price figures to get the first shot at lead back duties and, even if forced into a few starts in Seattle's run-friendly offense, Holani would be working in a committee and no more than a deep league flex.
