Zach Charbonnet News
Sunday, August 23, 12:28 PM
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) is currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list as he works his way back from a torn ACL. The 25-year-old underwent knee surgery in late February, making it likely that he will not be ready for the start of the season. Across 16 games in 2025, Charbonnet recorded 874 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns on 204 touches while splitting carries with former Seahawks back Kenneth Walker III. Walker III departed Seattle for the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency, which could open up an expanded role for Charbonnet once he makes it back to the field. However, the Seahawks used the 32nd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on running back Jadarian Price, who has turned heads in training camp and appears to be establishing himself as the team's clear RB1 heading into the year. Given Charbonnet's uncertain return timeline and the backfield competition in Seattle, his fantasy value is questionable.

Ashton Jeanty News
Sunday, August 23, 7:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is believed to have sprained his ankle during Sunday's practice, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jeanty was injured on an overthrown pass he tried to dive for, colliding with a defensive back. The second-year back reportedly couldn't put weight on his right knee, and the entire team took a knee as they helped him off. While it appeared to be a significant injury for the former sixth-overall pick, Jeanty appears to have avoided major injury. While it's unclear whether he suffered a low-ankle or high-ankle sprain, Jeanty's fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. We will have to wait and see how significant Jeanty's ankle injury is, but fantasy managers can resume drafting the star running back.
