NegativeDepth ChartSep 15, 2026
Charbonnet is not yet on the Seahawks active roster; once he returns, George Holani's playing time will be reduced further.NegativeRoleSep 10, 2026
Zach Charbonnet's 2025 usage split with Kenneth Walker III serves as a comp for Jadarian Price's Week 1 role. Walker was RB29 in points per game with that usage, falling just behind Charbonnet, suggesting Price's boom-or-bust flex profile if the split remains similar.PositiveRoleSep 9, 2026
Charbonnet is the clear-cut starter in a base-down role with George Holani in a passing-down role. This is a better role for Charbonnet than what Kenneth Walker III had when he was RB22 on RB27 usage while Charbonnet was healthy, as Holani is not a real threat to the goal-line role in ways that were problematic with the Walker-Charbonnet split.NegativeRoleSep 7, 2026
Charbonnet is 51% rostered and can be added as an IR stash if available, representing a deep bench option for teams with roster flexibility.PositiveRoleSep 3, 2026
With Kenneth Walker departing to the Chiefs and being replaced by first-round rookie Jadarian Price—who didn't start for his college team and may not handle a huge workload—Charbonnet has a clear path to lead the Seattle backfield upon his return from ACL recovery.NegativeInjurySep 3, 2026
Charbonnet tore his ACL in a January playoff game and is expected to start the 2024 season on injured reserve; he scored 12 rushing touchdowns with 874 yards from scrimmage last season as Kenneth Walker's complement before the injury.PositiveValueSep 3, 2026
Charbonnet is available in the 11th or 12th round and represents strong value for leagues with IR slots; he's expected to lead the Seattle backfield by November after tearing his ACL in January, and drafting him allows you to stash him on IR while freeing up a roster spot for high-variance dart throws at other positions.NegativeRoleSep 3, 2026
Recommended as a bench target in leagues with multiple IR spots; injury risk but potential value if he returns healthy to contribute or be flipped for positional upgrades.PositiveValueSep 1, 2026
The source drafted Zach Charbonnet late in the draft as a bench RB, specifically targeting him because he can be placed in an IR slot while the drafter picks up someone else. The source views Charbonnet as a win regardless of outcome: if he returns and takes over the Seahawks backfield, it's a win; if it's a split with Jadarian Price, the team can reassess; and if Price runs away with it, the team isn't relying on either back as a starter.NegativeInjuryAug 31, 2026
Charbonnet was placed on PUP after ACL surgery on February 20. Following a typical nine-month recovery timeline, he will return between Halloween and Thanksgiving, missing at least the first four games of the season.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
Zach Charbonnet is on the Seahawks' roster subject to waivers, meaning he has three or fewer accrued seasons and would be available on waivers if released during the 53-man roster cutdown.NegativeInjuryAug 28, 2026
Charbonnet is at the back-end of the depth chart for injury reasons and will go on regular season PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) by the end of the weekend, meaning he will not be available for the start of the regular season.NegativeInjuryAug 25, 2026
Charbonnet is categorized as a quality backup recovering from an injury; should have value in 2026, but patience will be required.NegativeRoleAug 17, 2026
Zach Charbonnet will compete with rookie Jadarian Price for headlining work in Seattle; his role as the incumbent back is at risk from the newly drafted Price.NegativeInjuryAug 12, 2026
Zach Charbonnet is labeled as late-season injury stash, indicating he is expected to miss early-season action but could provide value upon return in the Seahawks' backfield.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
Charbonnet is recommended as a great late-round stash for leagues with an IR slot, as he will almost definitely start the season on injured reserve following an ACL tear suffered in last season's playoffs. He should step right back into a pretty steady split-backfield role in Seattle after recovering.NegativeRoleAug 11, 2026
Zach Charbonnet is mentioned as an example of a player on IR that could be drafted early and stashed to free up waiver space for late-round QB pickups like Jacoby Brissett.NegativeInjuryAug 10, 2026
Zach Charbonnet's recovery from a torn ACL has complicated the Seahawks' transition at running back; however, a national NFL writer believes Seattle already has its next featured back waiting, suggesting Charbonnet may not be the primary option despite his prior role.NegativeInjuryAug 7, 2026
Seahawks RB is currently dealing with a health issue that has Seattle searching for a new lead back in the short term; Charbonnet's return timeline will determine the opportunity window for rookie Jadarian Price.NegativeRoleAug 7, 2026

Seahawks RB expected to return to health, at which point he would reclaim the lead back role from rookie Jadarian Price, who is currently filling the void during camp.NegativeRoleAug 7, 2026
