The Seahawks have placed Charbonnet (knee) on IR, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Charbonnet suffered a season-ending knee injury during Seattle's divisional-round win over the 49ers this past Sunday, an issue that coach Mike Macdonald noted Monday that he was "pretty sure" is "ACL (related)." To bolster the team's backfield depth behind starter Kenneth Walker, the Seahawks activated George Holani (hamstring) from IR on Friday. Charbonnet appears to be facing a lengthy recovery period, though at this stage a timetable on that front has yet to be outlined.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Reportedly recovering from ACL tear
Rotowire
Charbonnet likely suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Saturday's 41-6 NFC divisional-round win over the 49ers, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Charbonnet rushed five times for 20 yards versus San Francisco before being forced out with a knee injury in the second quarter, paving the way for Kenneth Walker to take over as the unquestioned No. 1 backfield option for Seattle and rush 19 times for 116 yards and three scores. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet's injury is significant, will require surgery and leaves him facing "a long road to come back," per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The timing of Charbonnet's injury will not only cause him to miss the remainder of the Seahawk's postseason run but likely the entire offseason and the beginning of the 2026 regular season. He led the team with 12 touchdowns (all rushing) across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025 and finished second on the team with 730 yards on 184 carries behind Walker. Those statistics all represent career-high marks for Charbonnet, and he additionally secured 20 of 24 targets for 144 yards.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Out for playoffs with knee injury
Rotowire
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet (knee) will miss the remainder of the postseason due to a significant injury suffered during Saturday's NFC divisional-round win over the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Macdonald confirmed that Charbonnet's injury will require surgery, and, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, he said the running back will have "a long road to come back." Kenneth Walker, who rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns versus San Francisco, will operate as Seattle's clear backfield leader beginning Sunday versus the Rams in the NFC Championship Game, while Cam Akers and Velus Jones will be candidates to come off the practice squad and contribute in depth roles.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Set for imaging
Rotowire
Charbonnet will get imaging done on his knee after departing Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Head coach Mike Macdonald was optimistic that Charbonnet's knee was structurally intact following Saturday's win against San Francisco. However, that will be confirmed through imaging. Charbonnet's status is seemingly up in the air for the NFC Championship Game, but there should be some additional clarity early in the week.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Dealing with knee injury
Rotowire
Charbonnet is questionable to return to Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers due to a knee injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Charbonnet was injured on a rush attempt midway through the second quarter and was able to walk off the field with the help of trainers. He was examined in the medical tent before walking to the locker room shortly before halftime. Prior to his exit, Charbonnet had recorded five carries for 20 yards.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Charbonnet had a dominant game in Week 17 at Carolina with 18 carries for 110 yards and two touchdowns and two catches for 12 yards on two targets, and he has now scored at least 17.4 PPR points in each of his past two outings against the Rams and Panthers. He also scored six touchdowns in the last eight games, with 426 rushing yards over that span, and he's averaging 4.9 yards per carry. And Charbonnet scored 10.7 PPR points against San Francisco in Week 1 with 12 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown, and the 49ers have allowed a running back to score a touchdown in three games in a row. I like Charbonnet as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues in Week 18, and Kenneth Walker III is worth using as a flex.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Finds end zone twice in win
Rotowire
Charbonnet carried the ball 18 times for 110 yards and two touchdowns and caught both his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.
The 110 rushing yards were a season high for Charbonnet, and he put together his second two-TD performance of 2025 with a two-yard plunge in the third quarter and a one-yard score in the fourth. Charbonnet has gotten into the end zone six times in the last eight games, amassing 426 rushing yards over that stretch with a 4.9 YPC. The Seahawks are headed toward the No. 1 seed in the NFC with one more win, so Charbonnet figures to remain heavily involved in Week 18 against the 49ers.

Charbonnet found the end zone again in Week 16 against the Rams, and he has now scored a touchdown in three of his past five games. He also added four catches for 22 yards on four targets against the Rams, and it would be great if he remained more involved in the passing game. The Panthers have allowed eight rushing touchdowns in their past five games, and five running backs have scored at least 10.2 PPR points against Carolina over that span. That bodes well for Kenneth Walker III, who is worth using as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues, and Charbonnet, who is a high-end flex.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Logs 13 touches in OT win
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed nine times for 32 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 22 yards in the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night. He was also credited with a two-point conversion run.
Charbonnet was two carries behind Kenneth Walker, and although the latter outgained him by 68 rushing yards and 42 receiving yards, the former was able to join his backfield mate in scoring a rushing touchdown. Charbonnet recorded a four-yard TD run in the first quarter to open the scoring, and he alertly picked up a ball in the end zone on a fourth-quarter two-point conversion attempt after it had initially been batted by Jared Verse and subsequently ruled a backward pass. Charbonnet continues to operate in a reliable complementary role alongside Walker and now has nine rushing touchdowns on the season, affording him some standalone fantasy value in deeper formats for a Week 17 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Leading rusher on eight carries
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed eight times for 31 yards while failing to secure his only target in Sunday's 18-16 win over Indianapolis.
Charbonnet was the Seahawks' leading rusher despite finishing with single-digit carries for the fifth time this season. Starter Kenneth Walker continued his recent struggles with an abysmal 9-17-0 rushing line, resulting in no Seattle players averaging over four yards per carry Sunday. Charbonnet has provided a solid baseline for those in deeper fantasy leagues while serving as a touchdown-dependent asset in standard formats for week 16.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
Charbonnet is worth using as a flex option in all leagues in Week 15 against the Colts, and he will continue to share touches with Kenneth Walker III, who is a low-end No. 2 Fantasy running back. Walker has scored at least 13.1 PPR points in two of his past four games, but he continues to lose touchdown opportunities to Charbonnet, who has scored in three of his past five games. Indianapolis has allowed six rushing touchdowns to running backs in the past four games since standout defensive lineman DeForest Buckner (neck) has been out, and hopefully Charbonnet will find the end zone again in Week 15.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Leading rusher in big win
Rotowire
Charbonnet carried the ball seven times for 46 yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.
Kenneth Walker saw a team-high 10 carries, but it was Charbonnet's 46 rushing yards that paced the Seahawks, and the 66 scrimmage yards represented his best performance since Week 10, Seattle's backfield remains a timeshare, but Charbonnet's nose for the end zone has made him the more reliable fantasy option -- he's got eight rushing TDs through 12 games, while Walker's scored only four. Charbonnet will look to hit paydirt again in Week 15 against the Colts.

Seattle is favored by seven points in this game on the road at Atlanta, so there should be chances for Charbonnet to get plenty of work in tandem with Kenneth Walker III. The Falcons are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and seven guys have scored at least 12.7 PPR points against Atlanta this season. Charbonnet has scored a touchdown in three of his past four games, and he has three games over that span with at least 13 total touches. He's worth using as a flex option in all leagues, and hopefully, we'll see Charbonnet in the end zone again in Week 14.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Effective at the goal line
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed the ball six times for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans.
Charbonnet was limited to a season-low six touches, with Kenneth Walker totaling 14. Charbonnet still delivered a familiar line, specifically finding success near the goal line as he plunged into the end zone from five yards away midway through the third quarter. Even if Charbonnet's role slips overall, he remains the preferred back in short-yardage situations. That will likely lead to boom-or-bust fantasy performances, though he does have seven scores in 10 games on the campaign.

Charbonnet scored a touchdown in Week 4 at Arizona in the first meeting with the Cardinals and finished the game with 12 carries for 39 yards and two catches for 5 yards. He has scored at least 11.8 PPR points in three of his past five games prior to Week 10, with four touchdowns over that span, and he's worth using as a flex in this matchup. Arizona has allowed a running back to score a touchdown in four of the past five games, and Charbonnet is the most likely Seattle running back to find the end zone ahead of Kenneth Walker III. Hopefully, Charbonnet can score again in Week 10.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Sleeper RBs

Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker III both have the chance to be No. 2 Fantasy running backs this week against the Commanders. Six running backs in the past five games against Washington have scored at least 11.1 PPR points, with six total touchdowns over that span. Charbonnet has scored at least 11.8 PPR points in three of his past four games, and he will likely need a touchdown to boost his value. He's been getting those scoring chances consistently with four touchdowns in his past four games, and I like his potential to find the end zone again this week. As for Walker, he's been held to 9.6 PPR points in three games in a row, but I'm hopeful he'll perform better coming off Seattle's bye.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Hits pay dirt twice on MNF
Rotowire
Charbonnet took 12 carries for 49 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for six yards in Monday's 27-19 win over Houston.
Charbonnet was the money-maker out of Seattle's talented backfield duo Monday, cashing in both of his team's rushing touchdowns on the evening. Kenneth Walker (17-66-0) received five more carries and was the game's leading rusher, but it is obvious which stat line fantasy GMs would have preferred in Week 7. Charbonnet has five touchdowns in six games, but his usage in short yardage and at the goal line has contributed to a career-worst 2.8 YPC. The skilled backup should continue generating flex value when the Seahawks come out of a Week 8 bye to face the Commanders on Nov. 2.
