Zach Charbonnet Could Reclaim Lead Role as Return Nears

Monday, October 19, 8:01 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) is a priority waiver addition as he approaches a potential return from the torn ACL he suffered during January's playoffs. Charbonnet resumed practicing on October 1, opening a 21-day window for Seattle to activate him from the physically unable to perform list. His availability for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against Kansas City remains unconfirmed, but the 25-year-old has a strong opportunity to reclaim significant backfield work once cleared. Charbonnet rushed for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2025, establishing himself as a valuable short-yardage and goal-line option. Emanuel Wilson has handled much of the rushing workload during his absence, including 14 carries for 52 yards in Thursday's loss to Denver, while George Holani has also contributed. Rostered in 62% of leagues, Charbonnet warrants priority waiver consideration in all formats. An initial timeshare is possible following his lengthy recovery, and rookie Jadarian Price (chest) could return from injured reserve in Week 8, but Charbonnet's touchdown potential and path to a leading role make him worth adding before his activation.

Cam Skattebo News

Harbaugh Says Cam Skattebo Was Not "Benched" in Week 6

Monday, October 19, 5:10 AM

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said in his postgame press conference that the team didn't bench running back Cam Skattebo. When asked why Skattebo didn't get any carries in the 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints, Harbaugh said, "It wasn't by design. All those guys were taking equal reps in the first half. We were trying to see who could make something happen, who could kind of get a hot hand and earn it." Skattebo logging zero touches despite averaging 18.2 attempts over the previous five weeks. The positive news for Skattebo was that, as Harbaugh said, "No one took the bull by the horns," with Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary, and Najee Harris totaling 14 carries for 34 yards while facing the worst rushing defense in the NFL up to that point. For now, Skattebo's a stash and shouldn't be dropped by any fantasy manager, though his weekly starting value is non-existent after the team decision.
