Seattle Seahawks RB Kenny McIntosh (knee) is a speedy back who has battled knee injuries in the early part of his career, including a torn ACL suffered in training camp last summer. "He's coming along," head coach Mike Macdonald said last month. "It's tough to put a timetable to it. He's training his tail off. I think it's one of those deals where, 'Hey, let's just keep hitting those benchmarks until we can evaluate what it's going to look like in the fall."'
Huddle Up: McIntosh could force his way into the mix with Emanuel Wilson, rookie Jadarian Price and George Holani if he gets healthy and has a strong training camp and preseason. His propensity for injury and underdog status make him a long-shot, however. For fantasy purposes, he is more of a wait-and-see guy, rather than someone to target late on draft day, even in deeper leagues.

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee suffered during the Divisional Round of the playoffs. He is expected to return at some point this season, but head coach Mike Macdonald doesn't know exactly when Charbonnet will be back. "I can't give you a timeline right now, but I can tell you he's killing it as we knew he would," coach Mike Macdonald said during the draft. "With these long-term injuries -- I say it all the time, you've just got to stack these things. You have to be able to get to the next thing and go rip it, and that's what he's doing. I'm excited for Zach."
Huddle Up: With Charbonnet out an extended period, and Kenneth Walker III moving on to the Kansas City Chiefs in the offseason, the backfield consists of free-agent signee Emanuel Wilson, rookie draft pick Jadarian Price and holdover George Holani at the top of the depth chart. Wilson is more of a power runner, Price can do a little bit of everything, and Holani is good catching the ball and in pass protection. It could be a timeshare in the Seattle backfield until Charbonnet is able to return.

Seattle Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson is a bigger back at 5-foot-10 and 226 pounds, who gives the team a power runner while RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) is on the shelf recovering from ACL surgery in February. Despite the absence of Charbonnet, likely until later in the regular season, Wilson still has to contend with top healthy holdover RB George Holani and rookie draft pick RB Jadarian Price for the top spot on the depth chart.
Huddle Up: Wilson has three years of experience in Green Bay, and he has started a few games in the NFL due to injuries to others. However, he hasn't been the workhorse before, and that likely won't be the case in Seattle, either, even with Charbonnet out a while. It could be a situation where Wilson, Holani and Price are in a timeshare, limiting the fantasy ceiling of all three players in 2026. We won't have an idea until training camp and the preseason on how the workload will be distributed, and it still might not be clear even into regular-season games. Wilson is worth scooping up in the final rounds of fantasy drafts and no higher.

Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani is the lone healthy holdover in the backfield, and his work catching the ball and working in pass protection makes him a strong candidate for third-down work, even when RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) is ready to return. Holani is battling free-agent addition RB Emanuel Wilson and draft pick RB Jadarian Price for a more meaningful role until Charbonnet can get back.
Huddle Up: Holani is likely not going to be the RB1 in Seattle, and it could be a crowded backfield with everyone getting a piece of the pie, which will not be conducive for fantasy purposes. Holani likely has the most upside as a pass-catcher, however, and he could be a decent late-round sleeper in PPR fantasy formats, with lesser appeal in standard play.

Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price is viewed as a replacement for RB Kenneth Walker III (Chiefs), but he isn't the clear-cut RB1 with RBs Emanuel Wilson and George Holani in the mix, and RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) expected back at some point. The team isn't asking Price to go from RB2 in college to a high-volume starter in the NFL. He averaged roughly 18.5 snaps and nearly nine touches per game over the past two seasons at Notre Dame, and he also returned kickoffs, so he could be used in that role, even with the presence of WR Rashid Shaheed.
Huddle Up: Price is likely to see a decent share of offensive touches early in his rookie season, at least until Charbonnet is healthy enough to return. With his coming back from a major injury, Charbonnet could be brought along slowly, so Price could have a meaningful role all season. However, his work in training camp and the preseason really dictates what his fantasy value will be, as the veteran Wilson has NFL experience, and Holani really came on down the stretch of the Super Bowl run. Plus, Price didn't get a lot of work catching the ball out of the backfield, which is something he needs to improve upon to get more playing time.

Seattle Seahawks first-round pick RB Jadarian Price fits the team's outside-zone running scheme as that's the system he ran in at Notre Dame. Notre Dame running backs coach Ja'Juan Seider says that system is Price's "love language." Seider also noted that Price's experience making an impact while sharing snaps with Jeremiyah Love will also benefit him once RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) returns.
Huddle Up: Charbonnet could miss the start of the season after tearing his ACL in the playoffs. That means Price will have a chance, for lack of a better pun, to take the ball and run with it. He'll be an RB2 early in the season, but be careful of overdrafting. Once Charbonnet returns, Price will shift back into an RB3 or RB4 role on your roster.

Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price "won't have to be a bell cow right away", sources tell ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Huddle Up: The Seahawks will still be missing Zach Charbonnet to start the year, following his torn ACL. Price offers significant upside despite the warning about his usage. He can be an RB2 or flex option to start the season until usage shows otherwise.

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenny McIntosh is the "best option" currently on the roster to replace the explosiveness of Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: While McIntosh could see a few carries as a change-of-pace option next season, especially until Zach Charbonnet returns from injury, he will still likely be well behind George Holani and Emanuel Wilson in the pecking order for touches.

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) is expected to play at some point during the 2026 regular season, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.
Huddle Up: Charbonnet suffered the injury during the playoffs, so there is a good chance that he will miss at least the first half of the season. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation because he will have fantasy value once he returns. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani could share playing time while Charbonnet is sidelined and can be possible No. 3 fantasy backs or flex options.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba agreed to a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension on Monday, March 23, that makes him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history. The deal averages $42.15 million per year, and includes over $120 million guaranteed, both setting records for any wide receiver.
Huddle Up: JSN was the WR2 in fantasy just behind Puka Nacua with a 119-1,793-10 line. Smith-Njigba solidified himself as an elite receiver capable of running any route and going up and getting contested balls. He's only 24 years old and should only continue to blossom. However, his draft stock has never been higher, which attaches some risk after the team lost RB Kenneth Walker III in free agency. He'll be an elite option in the top half of the first round of fantasy drafts.

Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani might be leaned upon more in the early part of the season following the departure of RB Kenneth Walker III (Chiefs) and RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) recovering from an ACL injury. The team signed RB Emanuel Wilson, and it might pursue help in the draft, but Holani received praise from general manager John Schneider earlier this month. "I'm not saying (Holani's) going to be their starting running back," ESPN's Field Yates said. "But I'll be the first to admit, in my role, sometimes you overlook some of the internal options that might play a bigger role than you realize."
Huddle Up: Holani did a good job down the stretch when thrust into a larger role with Charbonnet going down in the playoffs. He is a player to watch in training camp and the preseason, as he could very well challenge for starter reps until Charbonnet is ready to go. Holani knows the system, while Wilson is learning it, so that gives him a leg up.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba had his fifth-year option picked up, the team announced Friday, March 20.
Huddle Up: Coming off a year when he led the NFL in receiving yards, it is no surprise that Seattle decided to pick up Smith-Njigba's option. The Seahawks have already announced plans to try to extend the receiver, and he should remain one of the elite fantasy options at the position for 2026.

Seattle Seahawks exclusive rights free-agent RB George Holani signed his one-year tender offer Monday, March 16. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Holani has a chance to earn a bigger role next season because of the loss of Kenneth Walker III, so fantasy players should monitor his situation during offseason workouts and training camp. He can be a No. 3 or No. 4 running back in leagues depending on his role.

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet's (knee) "surgery went well" and his prognosis is good, according to general manager John Schneider.
Huddle Up: While it remains to be seen if Charbonnet will be ready for the start of the season, he will likely split carries with the newly acquired Emanuel Wilson whenever he is ready for action. Assuming the Seahawks deploy a similar approach with Charbonnet and Wilson as they did with Kenneth Walker III and Charbonnet, Charbonnett will likely be a solid flex option with RB2 upside because of his touchdown potential.

Free-agent RB Emanuel Wilson (Packers) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks Thursday, March 12, worth as much as $2.1 million, according to a source.
Huddle Up: There is a chance that Wilson sees a good amount of work early in the season if Zach Charbonnet is not ready to play, so fantasy players should monitor what the team does at the position this offseason. Wilson could be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in leagues if he receives a majority of the touches while Charbonnet is sidelined but will lose value when Charbonnet is ready to play.

Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed agreed to terms on a new three-year contract with the Seahawks Monday, March 9, worth $51 million.
Huddle Up: Shaheed helped out on offense and on special teams when he was acquired by the Seahawks this past season and should have a similar role in 2026. He will likely be a top-three receiver for the Seahawks next season and can be a late-round pick in fantasy leagues.

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent WR Rashid Shaheed is not close to a contract with the Seahawks at this point and is on track to hit the free-agent market, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Shaheed was productive for the Seahawks and offense as well as a returner but may be joining a new team this offseason. Fantasy players can monitor the situation because he could have a solid role in a passing game next season. He can be a late round pick in some fantasy leagues depending on his situation.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is unlikely to be a candidate for a contract extension this offseason since he has two years left on his current contract.
Huddle Up: Darnold is coming off a Super Bowl championship and will likely be the long-term quarterback for the Seahawks if he continues to produce. He will probably be a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues next season.

Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (shin) will not be available for spring workouts, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. "He got got fixed up, too," Macdonald said. "So we're just working through it. He's not going to do anything in the spring."
Huddle Up: Horton flashed some big-play potential prior to his injury, but his production was sporadic. He looks like a worthwhile stash candidate in dynasty leagues, but Horton is more of a late-round lottery ticket for redraft leagues in 2026.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba will reportedly be a candidate for a contract extension this offseason, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson on Monday, Feb. 23.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba hit the ground running in 2025 and never looked back as he dominated fantasy football in historical fashion. With a league-leading 1,793 yards, 119 receptions and 10 touchdowns, JSN averaged 21.2 fantasy points per game and broke out in his third NFL season. As a locked-in first-round pick going in 2026 and helping lead Seattle to a Super Bowl victory, Smith-Njigba may be handsomely rewarded this offseason with a contract extension. JSN will be one of the first half-dozen or so players off the board at the beginning of fantasy drafts in 2026.

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) underwent surgery Friday, Feb. 20, to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Charbonnet will be able to participate in training camp since he suffered the injury during the playoffs. There is a chance that he will be the main running back if Kenneth Walker does not re-sign, but his return date is uncertain at this point. He should see a good amount of touches even if Walker returns and can be at least a No. 3 running back in leagues.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba said that he is not concerned about finalizing a contract extension immediately but added that he would like to be the NFL's highest-paid wide receiver whenever a deal is completed.
Huddle Up: The 24-year-old Smith-Njigba had a breakout season in 2025, with 119 receptions for 1,793 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns as a member of the Super Bowl champions. He is entering the final season of his rookie contract, with a fifth-year option available as well, and could force the team's hand into giving him a lucrative deal to remain in Seattle. Smith-Njigba should be one of the first wide receivers taken in all 2026 fantasy drafts.

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent WR Rashid Shaheed said he is interested in re-signing with the Seahawks this offseason.
Huddle Up: Shaheed posted 188 receiving yards in nine regular season games after being acquired by the Seahawks but his biggest contribution to the team was his return ability. He should receive interest from multiple teams if he hits the free-agent market and could be a possible late round option in some leagues depending on his situation.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba landing an extension is one of the team's priorities this offseason.
Huddle Up: After a monstrous 119-1,793-10 season, only Puka Nacua was better than JSN in fantasy in 2025. He's entering the last year of his rookie contract, with a fifth-year option available as well, and he could force the team's hand into a new deal. He just turned 24, and he'll be a top-five option at the position to target in drafts.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold joined Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to win 14 or more games in back-to-back seasons, and Darnold is the only quarterback to win 14-plus games in his first season after changing teams, accomplishing the feat for the second year in a row in 2025.
Huddle Up: While Darnold did lead the league in turnovers this season, he also topped 4,000 yards for the second year in a row and threw 25 touchdowns. He should be a reliable QB2 in 2026 with streaming potential against the right matchups.
