Charbonnet rushed 14 times for 38 yards and a touchdown and caught all five targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Charbonnet started with Kenneth Walker (oblique) inactive, and he took advantage of the opportunity by scoring his second touchdown of the season while also featuring as a pass-catcher. His inefficiency was concerning, especially after turning eight carries into 12 yards last week, but his volume remains intriguing for fantasy purposes. It's unclear if Walker will be ready for a Week 3 clash against the Dolphins. Charbonnet figures to carry a heavy burden again if Walker's unable to go.

Charbonnet is expected to serve as the Seahawks' lead back for Sunday's game against the Patriots with Kenneth Walker (oblique) inactive for the contest, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Seahawks also have Kenny McIntosh and practice-squad call-up George Holani on hand as backfield depth, but those two players have combined for 17 career NFL snaps (all on special teams). With that in mind, Charbonnet could be primed to take on a true three-down role, after playing just one-third of the offensive snaps behind Walker while finishing with 10 touches (eight carries, two receptions) for 41 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in this past Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos. Charbonnet may struggle to match Walker from an efficiency standpoint, but a clear path to 15-plus touches makes the former a viable lineup option in just about any fantasy format this week.

Charbonnet appears set to start Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots with Kenneth Walker (oblique) listed as doubtful for Week 2, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charbonnet suited up for two games sans Walker as a rookie last season, Week 12 versus San Francisco and Week 13 versus Dallas, in which he logged 14 carries and 19 carries, respectively. The 2023 second-round pick will figure to handle a similarly notable workload atop Seattle's backfield if Walker misses Sunday's game against the Patriots, which currently seems more likely than not. Kenny McIntosh also will stand to handle an increased reserve role if Walker misses time, though he didn't log a single offensive snap Week 1.

Charbonnet rushed eight times for 12 yards and caught two of three targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 win over Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Charbonnet overcame an undisclosed minor injury to see his usual amount of snaps behind starter Kenneth Walker (abdomen). The latter left Sunday's win in the fourth quarter on his 22nd touch of the contest, which could create a starting opportunity for Charbonnet against the Patriots next Sunday. Managers of the 2023 second-round pick should monitor Walker's status heading into Week 2, and it wouldn't hurt to make a waiver claim for those in leagues in which Charbonnet is on the wire.

Charbonnet (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Seahawks injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charbonnet missed practice Aug. 14 due to undisclosed tightness, and while he returned to drills Aug. 20, he wasn't wearing pads during that session. A little more than two weeks later, he was able to handle every on-field rep, indicating his health is up to par for Sunday's season opener versus the Broncos. Charbonnet again will take a back seat to No. 1 RB Kenneth Walker in Seattle's offense in the upcoming campaign, a reality that contained him to 141 touches for 671 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD in 16 regular-season games as a second-round rookie in 2023.

Charbonnet (undisclosed) practiced in some capacity Tuesday but was held out from team drills, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charbonnet has been sidelined due to an undisclosed injury related to tightness since last Wednesday, so it's encouraging to see him get some on-field work in while wearing full pads. The second-year running back is expected to sit out Saturday's preseason finale against the Browns, but he shouldn't have any issue getting back to 100 percent health in time for Seattle's regular-season opener against the Broncos on Sept. 8.

Charbonnet (undisclosed) is expected to miss Saturday's preseason game against the Titans, Justin Melo of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charbonnet is dealing with what appears like minor tightness, and while it doesn't seem like he'll be sidelined for long, he is a near lock to miss Seattle's second preseason contest. The second-year pro's absence figures to leave more opportunities on the table for Kenny McIntosh, especially as Kenneth Walker and the Seahawks' starters aren't expected to suit up.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Charbonnet (undisclosed) did not practice due to tightness, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charbonnet's availability for Saturday's exhibition game against the Titans could be impacted by his current issue with tightness, but it doesn't sound like the second-year running back is dealing with anything that should sideline him long. Kenny McIntosh will get a chance to step into the No. 2 role behind Kenneth Walker if Charbonnet has to miss practice for any amount of time.

Charbonnet rushed twice for six yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Seahawks' 16-3 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

Charbonnet drew the start with Kenneth Walker sitting out and was featured on the opening possession, logging a one-yard gain on the Seahawks' first play from scrimmage before drawing a target and recording a five-yard run on consecutive plays later in the drive. Charbonnet appears set to fill a complementary role alongside Walker once again to open the season, one that afforded him 141 touches across 454 snaps from scrimmage over 16 regular-season games in his rookie 2023 campaign.

Charbonnet finished the 2023 season with 108 rushes for 462 yards and a touchdown and 33 receptions (40 targets) for 209 yards and no touchdowns.

EDGE Analysis

Charbonnet often played around 50 percent of the offensive snaps in a game, but second-year back Kenneth Walker was the clear lead back with 248 touches, 1,164 yards from scrimmage and nine total touchdowns. Despite the lopsided workload, Charbonnet showed promise as a rookie, especially as a pass-catcher. Moreover, his 4.3 YPC with one touchdown on 108 carries compares well to Walker's 4.1 YPC on 218 carries, and it's almost certain that Charbonnet could hold up to an increased workload given his size and ability to do so in college. Still, Charbonnet likely won't see such a workload as long as Walker is in the fold, so he projects as a late-round fantasy pick again in 2024.
