Zach Charbonnet News
Wednesday, July 22, 9:01 AM
The Seattle Seahawks placed running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday as he continues to make his way back from offseason knee surgery to fix a torn ACL that he suffered in the postseason, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 25-year-old has reportedly made good progress in his rehab this offseason, but he's still fully expected to miss the start of the 2026 regular season this fall, which will obviously hurt his fantasy redraft value. With Kenneth Walker III now in Kansas City, the Seahawks are expected to use some sort of committee approach in the backfield to begin the season, involving rookie Jadarian Price, George Holani, and Emanuel Wilson. But once Charbonnet is cleared to return for his season debut, he figures to eventually be a key piece of Seattle's backfield once again. The former second-rounder in 2023 out of UCLA had a bigger role next to Walker in 16 regular-season games last year and posted a career-high 730 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns on 184 carries while also catching 20 passes for 144 yards through the air. RotoBaller currently has Charbonnet ranked as the No. 62 fantasy RB for the upcoming season.

De'Von Achane News
Sunday, July 19, 8:52 AM
With little expected of the Miami Dolphins offense in 2026, Pro Bowl running back De'Von Achane has fallen to RB10 by current ADP, making him a potential bargain in the opening rounds of drafts. While the offensive exodus from Miami looks bad on paper, it's important to remember that this was a bottom-eight unit in 2025 in terms of both yardage and points scored, and Achane still turned in the most consistent fantasy season of any running back in the league. As the only back to score double-digit points in every game of the fantasy season, he finished the year as the RB5, and with Malik Washington and tight end Greg Dulcich the most accomplished pass catchers behind him on the roster, Achane could easily lead the team in targets in 2026. While there is obvious risk in counting on a 191-pound back to string together his third straight healthy season, especially considering the workload he's projected to carry, the upside case could see him crack the top five once more, which is tremendous value for a player that robust drafters could potentially land as their second running back.
