Who Should I Start? Ricky Person Jr. or Zachary Evans

The Seattle Seahawks have signed running back Ricky Person Jr., according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC. The NC State product most recently played for the UFL's Birmingham Stallions, finishing the 2024 campaign with 93 carries, 295 rushing yards, and six touchdowns. He also tallied an additional 150 receiving yards. As of now, the expectation is that Person will compete for the No. 3 running back role with players like Kenny McIntosh, George Holani, and Kobe Lewis. He's off the fantasy radar despite having a legitimate chance to make Seattle's 53-man roster in a couple of months.

Free agent running back Zach Evans was released from the Los Angeles Rams practice squad on Thursday afternoon, according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic. The 23-year-old finished the preseason on a high note by running for 45 yards and scoring two touchdowns but was unable to crack the final roster. Fantasy managers should now expect 25-year-old Ronnie Rivers to serve as the No.3 option behind Kyren Williams and rookie Blake Corum. Evans was selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft but saw only nine carries in his rookie season. Dynasty managers should feel confident about cutting ties with the Ole Miss product as he hits the free-agent market.
