Expert Note
View More NotesSeahawks rookie Jadarian Price left Sunday's game with a chest injury. X-rays were negative, and it's believed Price avoided serious injury, but he could miss time.
When Price left on Sunday, the Seahawks turned to Emanuel Wilson, whom they signed in free agency earlier this year before drafting Price. Wilson had 21-92-0 rushing and failed to catch his one target in Seattle's 31-7 Week 2 win over the Cardinals.
The lopsided score let the Seahawks salt away the game with a run-heavy approach, fueling Wilson's big carry total. But the Seahawks are a solid Week 4 favorite against the Commanders, who just lost Jayden Daniels to an elbow injury. The game script could be run-friendly again.
Price might not be out long, and Zach Charbonnet will return from a knee injury at some point. George Holani has been the Seahawks' primary passing-down back this season, so Wilson will be limited to mostly early-down work.
But in the short term, Wilson could be a startable running back for one of the run-heaviest teams in the league. The Seahawks' lights-out defense puts them in position to run the ball early and often.
Wilson is worth a look for anyone in need of immediate help at running back.

Fantasy Impact
Wilson led the Seahawks backfield in the big win, out-touching Jadarian Price on the ground 21 to 13. He's a speculative add at best as the Seahawks continue to rotate running backs.
