Zach Charbonnet News
Tuesday, July 21, 9:10 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet's (knee) status for the start of the 2026 regular season is currently up in the air as he works his way back from the torn ACL that he suffered in mid-January. Charbonnet was productive while splitting reps with former Seahawks back Kenneth Walker III in 2025, recording 874 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns on 204 touches across 16 games. While Walker III departed Seattle in free agency, the team used its first-round pick in the 2026 Draft on running back Jadarian Price and also signed veteran back Emanuel Wilson. Still, Charbonnet profiles as the team's clear short-yardage and goal-line back once healthy, and he could easily assume more of a three-down role if Price gets off to a slow start to his rookie season. The injury obviously adds some risk to Charbonnet's profile, but he could end up being a bargain as the 41st running back off the board by current redraft ADP.

Khalil Herbert News
Thursday, October 2, 12:22 PM
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the New York Jets have signed running back Khalil Herbert to an undisclosed contract. Per Rapoport, the team placed running back Braelon Allen (knee) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The Virginia Tech product was recently signed to Seattle's practice squad, but he'll now add depth in New York's backfield. With Allen out, and backfield mate Kene Nwangwu's (hamstring) status up in the air, it's possible that Herbert will see work right away behind starter Breece Hall and backup Isaiah Davis. The 27-year-old doesn't figure to be slated for a fantasy-relevant role, but he's at least on the deep handcuff radar in case the assets in front of him were to miss any time. The Jets will take on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.
