    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Seahawks RB Jadarian Price “is going to be a big factor,” but the team will use “two or three” running backs this year.

    This report largely affirms what we already believed to be true. Price can be expected to lead the backfield in carries, although Fowler thinks his workload will fall short of 20 carries per game. Few running backs hit that mark anyway, so that is hardly surprising. A report from The Athletic suggested RB George Holani could be trusted to handle high-value touches on passing downs and is scoring position, which hurts Price’s outlook. If only two running backs are involved, though, Price should provide usable stat lines. If Emanuel Wilson gets involved this could become a fantasy-unfriendly situation.
Simms: DAL players-only meeting ‘not a good sign’
Chris Simms and Mike Florio react to the Cowboys having players-only meetings to address the team's defense, with Simms saying that players-only meetings rarely change much in his experience.

    Holani put the ball on the turf twice in this one, but it was his fumble with 13 seconds left in the first half that proved to be one of the more costly mistakes of the game. With the Seahawks simply looking to get to halftime, Holani took a handoff from Sam Darnold for what should have been the final play of regulation. Instead, the third-year back had the ball knocked out and into his own end zone, which resulted in a Niners touchdown after it was recovered by DT Gracen Halton for the score. Holani hasn’t emerged as the late-round value fantasy managers hoped for this offseason and is fully off the fantasy radar for Week 6 against the Broncos.
  • SEA Running Back #36
    Holani is good to go for Sunday’s game after entering the weekend as questionable. Holani rushed seven times for 18 scoreless yards last week and shouldn’t be relied on in any fantasy format this week. While Holani is active, the Seahawks declared QB Jalen Milroe, RB Robert Henry Jr., LB Chazz Surratt, WR Montorie Foster Jr., and TE Nick Kallerup inactive for Week 5.
  • SEA Running Back #36
    Holani was nursing a ribs injury on Wednesday and Thursday, but he is now listed with a knee injury as well. This is concerning. He clearly picked up a new injury during the practice week. Velus Jones is the current RB3. Jones is not viable as a FLEX starter if Holani sits, but Emanuel Wilson should take on an RB2-worthy workload regardless.
  • SEA Running Back #36
    Holani should be good to go for the Seahawks’ Week 5 game against the 49ers, but he is certainly working through a decent little injury. The trusted passing game specialist should handle his normal workload, although he is only a touchdown-dependent PPR FLEX.
  • SEA Running Back #36
    Holani was listed as a limited practice participant due to a rib injury on Wednesday. The 26-year-old operated as a passing-down backup to Emanuel Wilson in Week 4 with Jadarian Price out. Unless he misses practice later this week, he is still on track to play in Week 5, though Holani does not have a large enough role to achieve fantasy relevance.
  • SEA Running Back #36
    In the first week without Jadarian Price, Holani operated as a lightly used backup behind Emanuel Wilson, who rushed for 21-81-1, and added another 3-39-1 through the air on four targets. Any hope that Holani could see an increased workload sans Price needs to be put on hold for now. He can be left on fantasy benches in Week 5 when the Seahawks host the 49ers.
  • SEA Running Back #23
    Wilson picked up his first score on a screen pass from San Darnold. His second touchdown came on an untouched stroll from eight yards out. Wilson doesn’t have anything close to elite burst, but he’s tough to bring down and has good-enough vision to take advantage of the holes he receives. He was clearly the bellcow as George Holani received just seven carries for 18 yards and only one catch in the contest. He’ll be a RB2 for Week 5 against the Broncos and as long as Zack Charbonnet/Jadarian Price remain out.
  • SEA Running Back #8
    Price reportedly aggravated a chest injury during the team’s Wednesday practice and will now miss the next four games, at minimum, as he tends to the injury. The backfield will be left in the hands of Emanuel Wilson and George Holani in Week 4 against the Chargers but should get reinforcements in short order with Zach Charbonnet set to resume practicing. Price’s season continues to trend poorly for fantasy managers that invested a mid-round pick in his services this summer.
  • SEA Running Back #8
    Price reportedly aggravated his chest injury on Wednesday. That is unfortunate. With Price out of the picture against the Chargers, and Zach Charbonnet (knee) still rehabbing, burly RB Emanuel Wilson and receiving specialist RB George Holani will split backfield reps. Wilson can be started as a volume-based RB2/FLEX while Holani is FLEX-viable in PPR formats.
  • SEA Running Back #8
    It’s possible that this is just a precautionary rest day, but those typically occur on Wednesdays. Price should be viewed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Chargers. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald favorite, Zach Charbonnet (knee), returned as a limited participant. Backup RB Emanuel Wilson would likely get the start if Price and Charbonnet are both out this week.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Lamar Jackson (ankle) has a “realistic” shot to play in Week 6.

    Jackson’s ankle injury, which has been described as neither high nor low, kept him sidelined in the Ravens’ win over the Falcons. It’s possible the Ravens will be cautious with Jackson and have Tyler Huntley start one more game in Week 6 against the Browns. Huntley against the Falcons threw for 201 yards and two scores. He was the seventh most accurate QB of the week. Jackson’s practice participation will be closely monitored over the next few days.

    NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) has “a shot” to play in Week 6.

    Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said Lane, who injured his wrist in the season opener against the Colts, will return to practice this week and could suit up this weekend against the Browns. Lane had impressed Ravens coaches and beat writers through training camp and in Week 1 he caught one of three targets for 11 yards before exiting with the wrist injury. Lane’s return to the Baltimore lineup could limit snaps and routes for Rashod Bateman Devontez Walker. Lane should be picked up in 14-team leagues.

    The Athletic’s Adam Kilgore reports Tyreek Hill could face NFL discipline under the league’s personal conduct policy.

    A jury this week found Hill, 32, “liable for two of 10 counts related to domestic violence and awarded his estranged wife $500,000 in compensatory damages,” Kilgore reported. Hill, who has faced allegations of domestic violence in the past, was accused of several instances of harming his ex-wife. Hill denied the allegations. An NFL spokesperson told Kilgore that the league has been “monitoring developments in the matter which remains under review of the personal conduct policy.” That could mean Hill will face a suspension if he signs with a team in the coming weeks. Hill’s agent has reportedly reached out to the Chiefs — Hill’s former team — to gauge interest in the veteran wideout coming off a horrific knee injury in October 2025.

    ArizonaCardinals.com’s Darren Urban believes Carson Beck won’t start in the “immediate future.”

    Cardinals fans appear to be pining for the team to bench Jacoby Brissett and start the rookie in the coming weeks as another season circles the drain for Arizona. Beck so far has been the Cards’ emergency third quarterback. Urban said there remains a “chance Beck is made the backup this week or next and allow him to come on in relief if the situation presents itself. I don’t see Beck starting in the immediate future, but it does feel his time grows closer, and if the offense continues to sputter, that would be understandable.” Brissett this season ranks 15th in passing yards. He’s thrown nine touchdowns to five interceptions and ranks 30th out of 37 qualifying QBs in adjusted yards per attempt. He won’t be a viable fantasy play this week against a tough Rams coverage unit.

    Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said he wasn’t sure about getting Jeremiyah Love more involved in the pass game because the team needs extra blocking.

    Asked about Love’s lack of route running — he has a 29 percent route participation rate on the season — LaFleur said the Cardinals’ pass blocking struggles often prevent Love from functioning as a pass catcher. “I wasn’t too confident in terms of getting into some of those ‘scat’ protections and stuff like that and five-man protections,” LaFleur said. “We wanted to have that extra body in there. There were a couple of times where I wanted to get him on some choice routes and stuff like that, but like I said I didn’t feel confident that we were going to be able to execute at the level that we needed to. But it is a good question.” Love, who has 13 targets and has been targeted on 21 percent of his pass routes, would need much more pass game involvement if he were to operate as an RB1 in fantasy leagues this season.

    NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus said Tyreek Hill (leg) is “close” to 100 percent recovered.

    Rosenhaus is shopping Hill to a contending team with “a good quarterback” about a year after Hill suffered a gruesome leg injury that ended his 2025 season with the Dolphins. Hill, who last week testified in his assault and battery court case, is a free agent. “I don’t know if he’s 100 percent today, but he’s close,” Rosenhaus said. “And he’ll get there really soon. But I think that’s probably something you’ll have to wait until he gets out in practices and gets with a team before saying he’s 100 percent.” There have been rumors of a potential Hill reunion with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, who recently lost Tyquan Thornton to a season-ending ankle injury and Rashee Rice to a hamstring issue.

    Hearing officer James Thrash upheld 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw’s one-game suspension.

    Greenlaw was suspended after he was ejected for headbutting Seahawks LB Ernest Jones during a sideline scuffle in the 49ers’ Week 5 win over the Seahawks. He appealed the suspension, but it has been upheld by hearing officer James Thrash. Greenlaw will miss Week 6 and is in line to return against the Falcons in Week 7.

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said EDGE Myles Garrett (knee) won’t have his 21-day practice window opened this week.

    Garrett went on injured reserve after Week 1 and is therefore eligible to have his 21-day practice window for activation off IR opened this week. However, McVay said the 30-year-old pass-rusher won’t have his window opened, indicating Garrett is not ready to practice yet and it will still be some time before we see him back on the field. His initial timeline after undergoing a knee scope was roughly six weeks. It’s been four weeks so far, but Garrett could still hit the six-week return timeline if his practice window is opened next week.

    Chargers signed QB Jake Browning to the practice squad.

    With Trey Lance hitting injured reserve, the Chargers worked out multiple quarterbacks Tuesday, eventually signing Browning. A former backup to Joe Burrow, Browning lost the Buccaneers’ backup job to Jalon Daniels this offseason. He now joins a Chargers team keen on adding some depth behind Justin Herbert with Lance out and DJ Uiagalelei on the 53-man roster.

    Broncos CB Riley Moss (ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday.

    Moss was ruled out of Week 5 against the Chargers but has a chance to play Week 6 against the Seahawks with back-to-back limited practice listings. Meanwhile, S Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) was a DNP for the second straight day. With Patrick Surtain (ankle) still out in the short term, the Broncos’ banged-up secondary may have a tough time against Jaxon Smith-Njigba and company on Thursday.
