Zach Charbonnet had a nose for the endzone last year and, being back healthy, is projected as the likely recipient of the Seahawks' rushing touchdown in this matchup, contributing 6 points to the offensive projection.

Zach Charbonnet is returning from injury and expected to round into form by the stretch run following the bye week, positioning him to contribute to the Seahawks' improved run game.

Charbonnet is returning from injury and expected to round into form by the stretch run (post-bye week), contributing to run game improvement alongside Price as the Seahawks aim to establish a stronger rushing attack.

Returning to the Seahawks roster ahead of Week 9, positioning him as part of the team's primary running back rotation alongside Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson, and George Holani; his return contributed to Velus Jones Jr. being deemed expendable.

In his season debut, Charbonnet managed just 29 yards on nine touches while playing 37% of the snaps. Rookie Jadarian Price displayed far more juice during the game and should earn more touches moving forward, leaving Charbonnet in a supporting role despite the Seahawks being 8.5-point favorites.

Charbonnet should be faded against Arizona this week. The Seahawks struggled to run the ball consistently against Chicago, and it won't be much easier against Arizona, who is decent versus the run. Seattle is using multiple backs in rotation, limiting Charbonnet's workload.

The source fades Charbonnet against Arizona due to Seattle's inconsistent run game against Chicago and Arizona's decent run defense; additionally, Seattle is using multiple backs in rotation, limiting Charbonnet's volume.

Zach Charbonnet (vs. ARI) should be faded this week. The Seahawks struggled to run the ball consistently against Chicago and will face similar issues against Arizona, who is decent versus the run. Seattle is also using multiple backs in rotation, limiting Charbonnet's workload.

Taylor to Seattle would ruin Zach Charbonnet's fantasy value, though Charbonnet has not provided much fantasy production thus far.

Charbonnet finished his first game back with nine touches and 29 total yards while leading the backfield with two red zone rushing attempts. He was second on the team in backfield snap rate (35.7%), rushing share (31.6%), and route share (17.9%). His workload is likely to grow moving forward, though he has only 1.67 yards after contact per attempt and a solid 17% missed tackle rate. Arizona's run defense has massively improved over their last five games, allowing the sixth-lowest explosive run rate, sixth-lowest rushing success rate, and seventh-fewest yards after contact per attempt, making him a cautious flex this week.

Zach Charbonnet returned last week from injury and finished with nine touches and 29 total yards while leading the backfield with two red zone rushing attempts. He was second on the team in backfield snap rate (35.7%), rushing share (31.6%), and route share (17.9%). Derek Brown notes Charbonnet has only 1.67 yards after contact per attempt but a solid 17% missed tackle rate, and expects his role to grow moving forward as he gets more game time.

In the Seahawks' committee backfield, Charbonnet cannot be ruled out as a potential contributor, though the source makes no strong recommendations given the continued spread approach and uncertainty around the role.

The Seahawks' backfield has become a fantasy quagmire; the most likely approach is a do-over of the Seahawks' Week 8 approach of spreading the ball around. While Jadarian Price is probably the best player, Chris Rodriguez JR can't make any strong recommendations but also can't rule out the likes of Zach Charbonnet.

Charbonnet is coming off a major injury with multiple other RB options available. In Week 8, he only played 20 of 57 snaps on offense, which is not enough to trust with around 10 touches being the expected volume. Arizona has shockingly not been a positive matchup for running backs this season despite getting scored on more than any team in the NFL; they are second-best against RB fantasy points adjusted to the schedule. A lower shot with the red-zone work being split three ways last week means it's not a guarantee the goal-line carry goes to Charbonnet if there is one at all.

In his first game back from injury, Charbonnet finished with nine touches and 29 total yards while leading the backfield with two red zone rushing attempts. He was second on the team in backfield snap rate (35.7%), rushing share (31.6%), and route share (17.9%). Charbonnet has 1.67 yards after contact per attempt but a solid 17% missed tackle rate. The source expects his workload to grow moving forward but doesn't want to flex him this week. Arizona's run defense has allowed the sixth-lowest explosive run rate, sixth-lowest rushing success rate, and seventh-fewest yards after contact per attempt over their last five games.

Charbonnet returned in Week 8 with 35% of attempts and 13% target share; he is projected for an even split on the ground with a slight edge in the passing game against Arizona. Ranked as mid-range RB3.

Charbonnet and Jadarian Price returned to action in Week 8 and served as the top two options in the backfield. Price handled 59% of the attempts with a 10% target share, while Charbonnet settled in with 35% and 13%. George Holani remained involved with an 18% snap share. Both backs could get a bump in Week 9, but it is hard to know which RB will lead the way. The projection model shows an even split on the ground, with a slight edge to Charbonnet in the passing game. The Seahawks are 11.6-point favorites over the Cardinals and have the third-highest team total (28.1) with Drew Lock at QB. Charbonnet is a mid-range RB3 in the rankings.

Charbonnet is mentioned in the podcast episode at the 44:56 mark as part of the Week 9 running back rankings discussion, indicating he is part of the week's RB analysis.

Charbonnet's role under threat as Price's workload increases. Community notes Charbonnet looked 'slow' after returning from injury; multiple owners report he appears less explosive than Price. Charbonnet expected to retain goal-line carries and some early-down work, but Price's increased snaps and Macdonald's comments suggest reduced opportunity. One comment: 'Charbs will get goal line work if offense gets inside the 5 again.' Charbonnet is a free agent after season, creating incentive for team to prioritize Price (first-round pick) development. Backfield described as 'fantasy cancer' and committee split limiting both backs' ceilings.
