Zach Charbonnet Might Not Return Until Midseason

Wednesday, May 27, 6:03 PM

The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta suggests that Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) might not realistically be able to return in 2026 until midseason after tearing his ACL in the team's Divisional Round win over the division-rival San Francisco 49ers just over four months ago. The 25-year-old will absolutely miss the start of the 2026 regular-season opener, which makes him an obvious candidate to begin the year on the Physically Unable to Perform list, sidelining him for at least the first four games. Seattle let Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III walk in free agency to the Kansas City Chiefs, but they added Emanuel Wilson in free agency and selected former Notre Dame back Jadarian Price in April's rookie draft. With Price a real threat to handle significant touches right away in his first NFL season and because of his serious knee injury, Charbonnet's redraft fantasy stock has taken a big hit. He's currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 57 RB. Charb proved last year that he was ready to take on a bigger role in Seattle, but he may not get back to that level of production until 2027.

Tyjae Spears News

Is Tyjae Spears Droppable in Dynasty Formats?

Wednesday, June 3, 12:45 PM

Across 13 games in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears recorded 547 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 117 touches. Although the 24-year-old has flashed upside throughout the first three seasons of his NFL career, he's been unable to break out of a complementary role in the Titans' backfield alongside veteran back Tony Pollard. Spears has also run into injury troubles, missing nine games over the past two seasons due to ankle, hamstring, and concussion issues. Entering 2026, Spears remains in competition with Pollard and could also receive heightened pressure on his playing time from 2026 fifth-round pick Nicholas Singleton. Spears established nice chemistry with Titans quarterback Cameron Ward as a receiver out of the backfield in 2025, recording 45 catches for 264 yards on 50 targets. He could continue to provide modest PPR production in 2026, but his dynasty upside appears to be fading.
