Jadarian Price's fantasy role in Week 3
Jadarian Price goes into Week 3 of the 2026 season as a matchup-dependent RB option for the SEA. He is rostered in 93% of leagues and actually started in 48% of them, and we rank him RB28 on our own weekly board at 9.8 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
Health matters here: he carries a QUESTIONABLE designation, so have a replacement ready until his status is resolved.
Week 3 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at WSH. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 2 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting RB baseline of 11 points, his 9.8-point projection is 1.2 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Jadarian Price is a fair Week 3 play — our RB28 at 9.8 projected points, right around the RB starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another RB, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jadarian Price (SEA RB), our RB28 this week for Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season at WSH, projecting 9.8 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. The projection sits about 11% under what a startable RB returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. On the road against WSH, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. He's listed questionable as of the update below; my rank assumes he plays, and designations move fast. Spicy on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
