Zach Charbonnet Still Has Late-Round Stash Appeal

Wednesday, August 12, 10:40 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is hard to trust for September, but he is still worth remembering late in redraft leagues. Charbonnet ran 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, with seven of those scores coming on 16 carries from inside the five-yard line. He also caught 20 passes for 144 yards. The problem is obvious: Charbonnet tore the ACL in his left knee during Seattle's divisional-round win over San Francisco and did not have surgery until Feb. 20. He remains on the PUP list, and the Seahawks have said a Week 1 return looks unlikely. Seattle also used the 32nd overall pick on Jadarian Price, so Charbonnet will not simply walk back into the job Kenneth Walker III left behind. George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are part of the mix, too. Even so, Charbonnet is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound back who already showed Seattle can trust him near the goal line, and RotoBaller has him all the way down at RB60. If your bench is deep enough to wait on him, there is still useful second-half upside here.

Bhayshul Tuten Still Sharing First-Team Work With Rodriguez

Sunday, August 9, 9:51 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten continues to split first-team work with Chris Rodriguez Jr., with Sports Illustrated reporting that the two handled carries at roughly an even rate during Sunday's practice. Both backs had productive moments, which only adds to the uncertainty surrounding a backfield that has yet to produce a clear leader. Tuten scored seven total touchdowns as a rookie, but he finished with 307 rushing yards on 83 carries and caught only 10 passes for 79 yards. Rodriguez brings more proven rushing volume after posting 500 yards and six touchdowns on 112 carries for Washington last season. LeQuint Allen Jr. also remains part of the equation after serving as Jacksonville's primary third-down back as a rookie. Tuten still has a path to a larger second-year role following Travis Etienne Jr.'s departure, but Sunday's split is another reminder that Rodriguez is very much in the mix for early-down work.
