There are so many factors that must be considered when answering this question: Will Price be the No.
1 running back? How soon will Charbonnet return? How frequently will the Seahawks run the ball under first-year offensive coordinator Brian Fleury? With all of that in mind, I think it is fair to expect Price to put together a year somewhat similar to what TreVeyon Henderson provided the Patriots last season. As a rookie, Henderson ran the ball 180 times for 911 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 5. 1 yards per carry and 53. 6 yards per game. He also had 35 catches for 221 yards and a TD. He led the team in rushing, but veteran Rhamondre Stevenson galloped for 603 yards on 130 carries and played more snaps (533 to 501), including on obvious passing downs because of his ability in pass protection. Until Charbonnet returns, it’s reasonable to assume Price will receive the lion’s share of rushing opportunities relative to Holani. Unless Price breaks off a bunch of long touchdown runs, though, I don’t foresee him plunging into the end zone all that often; it seems more likely that role will be reserved for Holani, who will probably handle the majority of pass-protection reps, too. How much can Seattle feature Price as a pass catcher if he’s not trusted to block on third down? We’ll see. If I were to project a final statistical line for Price this season, it would go something like this: 200 carries, 850 rushing yards, 25 catches, 190 receiving yards, eight total touchdowns (six rushing).
