Zach Charbonnet Lands on PUP List to Open the Season

Sunday, August 30, 4:05 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) has been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. He'll miss at least four games. This move was widely expected, as Charbonnet is working his way back from an ACL tear that he suffered during last year's playoffs. He could end up missing more than the minimum four games as he continues to recover and rehab. In the interim, Jadarian Price will likely occupy the lead-back role while George Holani and Emanuel Wilson also earn snaps out of the backfield. Charbonnet had 874 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns last season, so when he does return to the 53-man roster, he'll likely have low-end RB2 appeal in fantasy football.

Tank Bigsby News

Tank Bigsby a Priority Handcuff Running Back Option Entering 2026

Friday, September 4, 12:09 PM

Across 16 games in 2025, Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby recorded 58 carries for 344 yards and two touchdowns. Entering 2026, Bigsby's path to fantasy-relevant production remains blocked by star Eagles back Saquon Barkley. However, Barkley is now entering his age-29 season and has amassed over 800 touches (including the postseason) over the last two seasons. If Barkley were to suffer an injury, Bigsby would likely see a significant role increase and would immediately leap into top-24 running back territory for fantasy managers. In the lone game that Barkley missed in 2025, Bigsby recorded 106 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 18 touches. For fantasy managers searching for a premium handcuff running back option, Bigsby should be at the top of the priority list.
