News: 5 days agoCharbonnet (knee) rushed six times for 23 yards and brought in three of four targets for six yards in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Spin: Charbonnet took the first carry of the night for Seattle, gaining an encouraging five yards on his first tote since tearing his left ACL in a divisional-round win over the 49ers in January. He also subsequently rattled off a 13-yard gain in the third quarter, but he was limited on his other touches and ultimately had four fewer rush attempts than Jadarian Price. Charbonnet's snap share and touches should gradually increase, and a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals could serve as a good platform for his workload to see a nice bump.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Charbonnet would've been entering his fourth NFL season as the clear lead back in Seattle, but a torn ACL during the team's playoff game against the 49ers has put his 2026 campaign in jeopardy. It's a tough break for the 2020 second-round NFL draft pick, who set career-high marks in touches (204) while ranking fifth among backs in rushing touchdowns (12) and carries inside the 5-yard line (16) last season. Charbonnet's minimal receiving role (career-low 24 targets) limited him to 11.3 fantasy points per game, however, and he has yet to deliver a top-20 fantasy campaign. Kenneth Walker III is gone, but first-round rookie Jadarian Price could very well cement himself a big offensive role by the time Charbonnet is healthy. The 25-year-old is worth only a late-round lottery ticket.
