Zach Charbonnet's Knee Surgery Goes "Very Well"

Thursday, March 12, 5:51 PM

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said on Seattle Sports Radio on Thursday that running back Zach Charbonnet's (knee) ACL surgery "went very well," and his "outlook is good." Schneider wouldn't provide a timeline for Charbonnet's recovery or a timetable for when he might be able to resume football activities. The 25-year-old tore the ACL in his knee during the Divisional Round win against the San Francisco 49ers, so given the timing of the injury, it wouldn't be realistic to expect Charbonnet to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season. Typically, recovery from a torn ACL takes anywhere from eight to 12 months. Seattle's backfield is thin because of Charb's injury, and with Kenneth Walker III signing with the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. If Charbonnet isn't ready in early September, the Seahawks could pair a rookie RB with both George Holani and newcomer Emanuel Wilson. Charbonnet's 2026 fantasy value is probably going to take a pretty big hit because of his injury, but when he's finally healthy, he could have a clear path to being the RB1.

De'Von Achane News

Dolphins Not Listening to Trade Offers for De'Von Achane

Wednesday, March 18, 7:08 AM

NFL teams that have recently called the Miami Dolphins to inquire about trading for running back De'Von Achane have been told that he is "not available," sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Under new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley, the Dolphins have traded or released most of the veteran core, but Achane, who is entering the final season of his four-year rookie deal, is part of the team's plan going forward. The Dolphins traded star receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday and also sent veteran defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets earlier this month. Achane averaged a league-leading 5.7 yards per carry and rushed for a career-high 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025, making him the RB6 in half-PPR scoring. He also caught 67 passes for 488 yards and four touchdowns. He's a dynamic threat out of the backfield, and while his volume will remain plentiful, Achane's fantasy stock takes a hit now that he's the only trustworthy option on offense right now in Miami.
