Zach Charbonnet won’t play in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos. The Seahawks running back was ruled out for Thursday’s game, according to Underdog NFL.

What happened

Charbonnet was estimated as a limited practice participant Tuesday, per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle. The Seahawks listed him with a knee injury. This continues a long recovery from a torn ACL suffered in the divisional round of last season’s playoffs, according to RotoBaller.

Context

Charbonnet has not played this season. Sleeper currently tags him as PUP with a knee/ACL injury. On the Seahawks’ depth chart, he is listed as the fourth running back. Emanuel Wilson has led the Seattle backfield through five games with 51.1 PPR points on 73 carries for 251 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, plus five receptions for 50 receiving yards. George Holani has added 77 rushing yards and 11 receptions for 76 receiving yards.

Timeline

On October 3, Field Yates reported on X that Charbonnet was nearing a return to action, according to Fantasy Football Desk.

On October 5, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Charbonnet would not play in Week 5 and would get team reps in practice.

On October 13, RotoBaller said Charbonnet’s Week 6 status was very strongly implied to be out and that he was likely nowhere near 100 percent.

Depth chart

If Charbonnet remains out, Emanuel Wilson is the Seahawks’ top running back. Wilson has 51.1 PPR points this season. George Holani is next with 24.3 PPR points, and Brady Russell has 7.0 PPR points.

What’s next

The Seahawks play the Denver Broncos on Thursday, October 15. Charbonnet has been ruled out for that game.

Zach Charbonnet (knee) ruled out for Week 6.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Charbonnet remains out, so fantasy managers can continue to keep him on IR or the bench. Emanuel Wilson remains the top option in the Seattle backfield, having produced 51.1 PPR points through five games. George Holani has carved out a pass-catching role with 11 receptions, but both remain low-end flex options in deeper leagues. With Charbonnet sidelined, Wilson is the safest start among Seahawks running backs.
