The Seahawks placed RB Jadarian Price on IR with a chest injury that kept him out for Sunday’s game against the Chargers. That move means he also won’t miss at least the next three games, which would sideline Price until at least Week 8.

Price’s absence puts Emanuel Wilson and George Holani in the lineup for near-term consideration. His IR stint also coincided with Zach Charbonnet’s three-week practice window in his own return from injury.
That means the Seahawks must activate Charbonnet by Oct. 22 or place him on season-ending IR. That timeline would bring Charbonnet back for Week 7, one game before Price is eligible to return.
Wilson is the best current bet for fantasy usage, including this week against the Chargers. Holani belongs on a roster in deeper leagues. Charbonnet should be kept everywhere.
The whole situation challenges Price’s fantasy vision even more than his return. He will likely find a committee backfield whenever he returns.
