Zach Charbonnet Officially Out for Week 6

Wednesday, October 14, 2:18 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Week 6 game on Thursday Night Football against the Denver Broncos, according to Corbin K. Smith of Emerald Spectrum. Seattle opened Charbonnet's 21-day practice window last Thursday, but he is still not ready to make his 2026 debut after being limited in practice this week. The good news for the Seahawks and fantasy managers is that the 25-year-old has a realistic chance to make his return in a showdown in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Rookie first-rounder Jadarian Price (chest) will miss at least two more games while on Injured Reserve, so if Charb returns next week, he will be sharing the backfield with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. Wilson has been Seattle's lead back in the last few weeks, but things could change quickly once Charbonnet returns. The 25-year-old former second-rounder from UCLA had a bigger role last year alongside Kenneth Walker and had his most productive NFL season, rushing for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns on 184 regular-season carries, adding 20 catches for 144 yards through the air. Charbonnet figures to be eased in once he makes his season debut, but for his all-around solid skill set, he should be stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Cam Skattebo's Fumbles Could Jeopardize His Role Against Saints

Saturday, October 17, 7:11 AM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo had 13 carries for 59 yards and two receptions for 12 yards in the 27-27 tie against the Washington Commanders. Once again, Skattebo had an ineffective day from a fantasy perspective, and things could trend worse in the coming weeks. Skattebo had a costly fumble that should've cost the Giants the game if not for clock-management mistakes by the Commanders' offense. When asked during the week, Giants head coach John Harbaugh left the door open to changes after Skattebo's fourth fumble in five games. He has a great matchup in Week 6 against a New Orleans Saints defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to running backs this season. If he continues to see the same usage he's had throughout the season, Skattebo should have a bounce-back game. But his fumbling issues could cost him high-quality touches and make him a risky option in Week 6.
