Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is nearing a return to action, and his presence is already causing a shakeup in the team’s backfield. According to a post from Field Yates on X, a Charbonnet return is forthcoming.

What happened

Charbonnet has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list with a knee injury, specifically an ACL, according to Sleeper player data. The 25-year-old is in his third NFL season and has been added in 28,119 Sleeper leagues over the last 24 hours, indicating fantasy managers are preparing for his activation.

The Seahawks currently list Charbonnet as fourth on their running back depth chart per Sleeper. The exact timeline for his return has not been reported, but the phrasing “return forthcoming” suggests it could happen soon.

Context

Seattle’s backfield has been without Charbonnet while he recovers from the knee issue. His return would give the Seahawks another option in the running game, though the depth chart suggests he may not immediately step into a lead role.

What’s next

The Seahawks will need to decide when to activate Charbonnet from the PUP list. No corresponding roster move has been reported.

With a Zach Charbonnet return forthcoming, the Seahawks backfield is amidst a shakeup.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Charbonnet’s imminent return adds uncertainty to Seattle’s backfield. He is currently buried as the RB4 on the depth chart, so his fantasy value is limited until we see how the Seahawks deploy him. For managers in deeper leagues, he is worth an add as a speculative stash, but expectations should be tempered. Keep an eye on Seattle’s injury reports and practice participation leading up to game day. If Charbonnet is activated, it could cut into the workloads of other Seattle running backs, making the backfield a risky play for fantasy purposes.
