News: 4 hours agoPrice will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Chiefs, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Price has practiced for over a week since recovering from a lower-body injury, so Friday's absence will not be injury-related. However, it is notable that the rookie will not make his first appearance in an NFL uniform until Week 1. It remains to be seen what Seattle's depth chart will look like heading into the regular season, but with Zach Charbonnet (knee) unavailable Price figures to fill a key role out of the gate.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Price was selected by the Seahawks with the No. 32 overall pick of April's draft. Price managed only 280 career carries while stuck behind Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame, but he showed well, posting a 4.13 YAC (second best in this rookie class) and 3.6 forced missed tackle rate (third best). He wasn't a factor as a receiver, however, totaling 15 receptions in 41 games. Price has a path to an immediate feature role in Seattle's run-first offense, though he may eventually defer substantial work to Zach Charbonnet (ACL recovery). Value Price as a flex, though he should land on the weekly RB2 radar while Charbonnet is sidelined.
