Who Should I Start? George Holani or Brady Russell

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani finished Thursday's preseason opener with a team-high 61 rushing yards on seven carries and added 20 more yards on a catch out of the backfield. He had a 24-yard rushing touchdown for the Seahawks' first score of the night, and his longest play of the game. Holani was an undrafted free agent whom Seattle added before last season out of Boise State. Holani lost the battle for a roster spot to Kenny McIntosh last season, but he looked ready to claim a spot on this year's squad with a strong opener. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet will carry the load in the backfield, but Holani played ahead of rookie Damien Martinez and could earn his way into the running back rotation if injury strikes in Seattle.

Exclusive-rights free-agent tight end Brady Russell officially signed his tender on Wednesday to return to the Seattle Seahawks for the 2025 season, according to Seahawks.com's John Boyle. Russell will return for his third year with the team after not catching any passes as a tight end in his first two years with the team. Instead, the 26-year-old has appeared exclusively on special teams and has recorded 17 tackles (11 solo) in 26 games played (zero starts) since debuting in 2023. Russell originally went undrafted out of the University of Colorado before latching on with the Seahawks. He will continue to serve as more of a special-teams asset for Seattle heading into training camp this summer. Russel is nowhere near the fantasy radar.
