Seahawks Being Careful with Zach Charbonnet, Hope He's Ready for Week 8

Sunday, October 25, 4:12 PM

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said that the team is being "careful" with running back Zach Charbonnet (knee), even though he is ahead of schedule in his recovery. Schneider told play-by-play announcer Steve Raible (via Brady Henderson of ESPN.com) that Charbonnet had a great week of practice and that the team hopes he'll be ready for Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old is working his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in last year's playoffs, and while there was some optimism that he'd be able to play this week against the Kansas City Chiefs, the team chose not to activate him from the PUP list. Emanuel Wilson will get at least one more week to lead the backfield, while George Holani continues to occupy the backup role as a low-end RB3/flex in deeper fantasy leagues. Once Charbonnet does return to action, he'll rank as a weekly RB2 option in fantasy football.

Cam Skattebo Rushes for 124 Yards, Reports Hamstring Issue After Win

Sunday, October 25, 1:47 PM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo strengthened his fantasy outlook by reclaiming a prominent role in Sunday's 27-21 overtime victory over the Houston Texans, rushing for 124 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, though a hamstring issue clouds the picture. After receiving no touches against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6, Skattebo scored on a 16-yard fourth-quarter run before breaking free for a 42-yard gain in overtime that set up Devin Singletary's game-winning touchdown. He also caught one pass for a three-yard loss, finishing with 19.1 PPR fantasy points, and the 124 rushing yards marked a career high. According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, Skattebo said he felt something in his hamstring during the overtime run and went down knowing the Giants were already within field-goal range. He clarified that the slide wasn't simply a strategic decision, adding, "Good thing we have a bye week." New York has a Week 8 bye before visiting the Philadelphia Eagles, providing additional recovery time while the severity of his hamstring issue remains uncertain.
