Jadarian Price was limited yesterday after being designated to return to practice. He was a full go today. Zach Charbonnet was limited today after four straight practices of full participation. So still not certain that Seattle’s backfield will be at full strength Monday night. [Retweeted](

Downgraded from FULL to LIMITED practice Friday, raising setback concerns after knee injury. Community split: some see precautionary rest, others worry about halting return and potential committee work with Price and Wilson. First-round rookie who got hurt in third career game; team may not use him heavily on return. Charbonnet owners frustrated—many considering drops or holding as emergency flex only. If he plays, likely goal-line back with 40–50 yards + TD upside, but ceiling capped as RB3 type in committee.

Zack Charbonnet tentatively expected to return to action and has been practicing in full this week; however, Jadarian Price also has a chance to play, and Seattle may sit Emanuel Wilson and/or George Helani, creating a crowded backfield. Against Bears defense with Jeffrey Simmons in the middle, this is a 'stayaway situation' for Seattle running backs.

Charbonnet is expected to return to the field against the Bears in Week 8 after missing the 2026 season to date recovering from a surgically repaired ACL. John Gilbert predicts Charbonnet will make his return this week, though Jadarian Price is not expected back for another week or two. Charbonnet's return is viewed as a positive development to take pressure off Sam Darnold and the passing game by strengthening the Seahawks' run game, which has struggled with Kenneth Walker's departure in free agency.

Charbonnet is expected to return to the field against the Bears in Week 8 after missing the entire 2026 season recovering from a surgically repaired ACL. His return is anticipated to help alleviate pressure on Darnold by strengthening the run game, which has struggled significantly without him and Kenneth Walker, thereby reducing Darnold's need to make plays downfield and allowing the Seahawks defense to take over.

Charbonnet is still recovering from major knee surgery and cannot be trusted as a reliable fantasy option. The source questions how to trust him, noting he wasn't exactly an RB1 option to begin with. Despite being a popular topic among fantasy managers, Charbonnet's injury status and historical production make him unreliable. The source suggests Jadarian Price will be the more dependable Seattle RB option going forward.

Zach Charbonnet was activated off the PUP list ahead of Week 7, providing additional depth to the Seahawks' backfield. His return to availability, combined with Jadarian Price's imminent return from injured reserve, gives Seattle multiple options to address its running game prior to the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

Charbonnet's expected Week 7 return ended up being an "okie doke," but his 2026 debut looks for real this time. His role—RB3/FLEX who verges on RB2 nuisance—will probably remain the same as it was in 2025. The source gives a modest rankings advantage to Emanuel Wilson for Week 8, assuming Wilson holds onto his "poor man's Kenneth Walker" role, with Charbonnet likely needing an on-field ramp-up period.

Charbonnet may return for the Seahawks in Week 8, but it's hard to recommend trusting him in what could still be a committee backfield; Emanuel Wilson will take some touches from him, and the Bears have allowed the eighth-fewest FPPG to running backs this season.

Charbonnet (ACL) practiced in full last week but didn't play. He is expected to play in Week 8 against the Bears on Monday Night Football, but it remains a situation to monitor. The source projects Charbonnet to handle ~50% of the workload as the team eases him back into action. If he plays, Charbonnet is a low-end RB2. If Charbonnet can't go, backup Emanuel Wilson is a mid-range RB2 after consolidating most of the rushing workload over the last four weeks.

Zach Charbonnet is recommended as a target to acquire in return for selling high on Tony Pollard. Multiple experts suggest trading Pollard for Charbonnet as a more reliable back with better rest-of-season outlook, positioning Charbonnet as a dependable RB2 option.

Charbonnet returned to practice last week for the first time since his ACL surgery in February and was a full participant during the week, but remained inactive on Sunday night. He should be in line to make his 2026 debut in Week 8, though fantasy managers should have a backup plan because the Seahawks play on Monday night against the Bears, creating potential late-week uncertainty.

People are saying the Seahawks got better than the 49ers yesterday by adding Quenton Nelson, while the 49ers added DeForest Buckner. What they failed to realize is that when the 49ers went into Seattle and won, they did that without Nick Bosa, Marques Sigle, and Demarcus Robinson— all starters Sure Seattle will now have Quenton Nelson and Zach Charbonnet— who was out against us, but I don’t think they are the better team right now because they added Nelson while SF added Buckner
