From the episode

I just like injuries are going to find your team anyway. It's obviously not that it's that expensive. I'm just not that interested in wasting a pick on him and then just having them take up an IR spot for the first two months of the season, knowing that other guys are going to need to take those spots eventually. And how much are they going to use when he comes back? Just in the hope that you have a guy for the fantasy playoffs.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Charbonnet RB46; injury timeline makes him risky draft pick; prefer waivers.

The source ranks Charbonnet at RB 46 and expresses reluctance to draft him due to injury concerns. Surgery was late in the offseason (late February), and the source does not expect him to be ready week one despite team messaging about potential week-one readiness. The source prefers to let someone else draft him and potentially pick him up off waivers in October if the team is looking good, rather than waste a draft pick and IR spot on him for the first two months of the season. The source notes that even if Charbonnet comes back in the fantasy playoffs, the ceiling may be capped with Price operating as the lead back.
