Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones Sr. or Jadarian Price

Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price took a backseat to Zach Charbonnet in Week 9, lowering his ceiling and floor for fantasy football going forward. Price led the backfield in snaps in Week 8, when both he and Charbonnet returned from IR, but then the dynamic shifted, and Charbonnet led the way this past Sunday with a 57% snap share and 16 carries. Charbonnet was also far more efficient this past weekend with 4.81 yards per carry. For comparison, Price is averaging fewer than 2.8 YPC in his two games since returning from IR. Coming out of college this year, it seemed like Price was best suited for a complementary role that allowed him to get roughly 10-12 touches per game, and that's almost exactly in line with what his volume has been recently. It has been very encouraging to see him catch six passes over the last two weeks, and we can assume that a pass-catching role is likely his key to getting on the fantasy radar every week in half-PPR and full-PPR leagues. He still has RB3/flex appeal going forward, but there's no doubt that he's behind Charbonnet in the pecking order.
