Zach Charbonnet Will Not Play in Week 5

Monday, October 5, 9:15 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) is eligible to return after spending four weeks on the PUP list to begin the year, and while he will get reps in practice this week, head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters on Monday that he will not play in the team's Week 5 matchup with the 49ers. Charbonnet tore his ACL in the Divisional Round of the 2025 playoffs and returned to practice for the first time ahead of Sunday's win over the Chargers. The Seahawks' 2026 first-round pick Jadarian Price (chest) is currently on injured reserve with a chest injury, and in his absence on Sunday, Emanuel Wilson delivered the team's best running back performance of the season, totaling 120 yards and two touchdowns. Until Charbonnet is made active, Wilson remains a viable flex play, but a potentially messy committee could soon lower the fantasy value of all Seattle running backs.

Ashton Jeanty a High-End RB2 in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 12:47 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty will shoulder his toughest workload yet when the Silver and Black host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. Despite still searching for his first rushing touchdown of the season, the second-year back ranks sixth in the NFL in carries (63) and 10th in rushing yards (206), and he adds 13 targets for 97 yards and two passing TDs. Jeanty is also carrying a massive workload, playing over 80% of offensive snaps through Week 3. The Chiefs have allowed fewer than 100 yards on the ground in three straight games, but Jeanty should still produce plenty given his versatile role. He is a high-end RB2 across fantasy formats in Week 4.
