Ty Johnson is Shaky Option for Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 5:29 PM

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson made his season debut during last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Johnson hauled in all four of his targets for 50 yards in the victory. He didn't do any damage on the ground, but he could get more involved with Ray Davis (hamstring) listed as questionable for this weekend. James Cook III remains the workhorse back in Buffalo, but Johnson might be able to carve out a role for himself in the backfield. Johnson could be someone worth stashing in deep leagues ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the New England Patriots. It's probably best to leave Johnson on the bench, but he could offer value down the road.

Zach Charbonnet News

Zach Charbonnet Limited in Practice as Potential Activation Lingers

Wednesday, October 7, 8:53 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday as the team begins preparing for Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers, according to John Boyle of the team's official website. Charbonnet tore his ACL in the playoffs last year, and he didn't quite recover in time for the season opener, so the Seahawks placed him on the PUP list to start the year. Now that he has missed the minimum four games, he's eligible to be activated. The Seahawks definitely don't have to activate him this week if they don't think he's ready, but it's worth noting that Seattle is actively looking to improve its backfield. After placing rookie Jadarian Price (chest) on injured reserve last week, the Seahawks tried to sign Joe Mixon to their practice squad, but the deal didn't progress beyond a physical. Getting Charbonnet back from injury would help answer the running back questions for Seattle, which gave a total of 32 touches to Emanuel Wilson and George Holani last week. Upon his return, Charbonnet would occupy the lead-back role, ranking as an RB2 in fantasy football.
