Zach Charbonnet News
Friday, September 25, 4:07 PM
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that practicing next week is on the table for injured running back Zach Charbonnet (knee), according to Corbin K. Smith of Emerald Spectrum. Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the playoffs in January and was not ready to return for the start of the 2026 season. The 25-year-old remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list, but the Seahawks could open his practice window next week if he continues to make progress. That does not mean that Charbonnet will be a candidate to return in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers at home, but if he makes great progress, he could be an option to rejoin the club on Oct. 11 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Rookie first-rounder Jadarian Price is the most fantasy-friendly backfield option right now for the Seahawks, even after Emanuel Wilson surprisingly had 21 carries in the Week 2 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. Price dealt with a chest injury on Sunday, but he has bounced back at practice this week and will be a full-go for Sunday's game in D.C. against the Commanders. Charbonnet should eventually take over as a primary piece of the Seahawks' running game, so he should be stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Braelon Allen News
Monday, September 21, 11:31 AM
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen did not do much with his five carries Sunday, gaining seven yards, but he did punch in a five-yard touchdown and added an eight-yard catch. The workload was lighter than Week 1, when Allen carried 10 times for 40 yards, but he has still been involved enough through two games to matter in deeper fantasy leagues. Breece Hall remains the clear lead back with 38 carries and seven receptions, so Allen is not someone to force into a lineup right now. His value is mostly in what could happen if Hall misses time, though the Jets have already given Allen enough work to leave open the possibility of some standalone value. RotoBaller ranks him 23rd among Week 3 waiver options and recommends adding him in 12-team leagues. That feels about right. Allen is a bench stash rather than a priority claim, but he is one of the better backup running backs to hold if a roster has room.
