2026 Week 8 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Jadarian Price Activated, Rashid Shaheed Out for Seahawks

According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), the Seattle Seahawks have activated rookie running back Jadarian Price from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the Bears. Price, who has been sidelined with a chest injury since Week 3, carries no injury designation for the game. The same report notes that wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and left tackle Charles Cross have both been ruled out. Robert Henry Jr. was waived to open the roster spot for Price.

Price is back, but the backfield is genuinely crowded. Per ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), Zach Charbonnet, Emanuel Wilson, and George Holani are all also available — and Charbonnet was activated in Week 7 but didn't even play in Seattle's win over the Chiefs. With head coach Mike Macdonald declining to commit to Price playing as recently as Saturday, don't assume he steps right back into a featured role. He's a dart throw in deeper formats at best tonight — not a confident start.

Robert Henry Jr.

Henry Jr. was waived to clear the spot for Price's activation. He's off the active roster entirely, so he's a drop in all formats unless he clears waivers and re-signs to the practice squad.

Rashid Shaheed

Shaheed is out tonight. The fantasy question is who absorbs his snaps at receiver. Per our depth chart data, Jaxon Smith-Njigba already commands a dominant 83.5% snap share on the season and averages 11.1 targets per game — he's the clear alpha regardless. Cooper Kupp sits second on the depth chart and has played 68% of snaps this year, but he's averaging just 3.9 targets per game, limiting his upside. Tory Horton (third on the depth chart, 29.8% snap share) is a distant option. ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports) notes that the Seahawks also elevated Montorie Foster Jr. from the practice squad, which suggests he could see the field. The honest answer: Smith-Njigba soaks up most of the benefit here. Kupp is a speculative flex, and Foster Jr. is a deep-league flier only.

Montorie Foster Jr.

Foster Jr. was elevated from the practice squad, per ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), with Shaheed ruled out. He would be next in line for any additional snaps beyond what Kupp and Horton absorb. Practice squad elevations rarely translate to fantasy-relevant volume — don't roster him unless your league is very deep and you're desperate at receiver.
