Doubts health return; contract year sit-out risk; surgery delayed to late February.
Zach CharbonnetRBSEA
Zach Charbonnet ended up in a near 50/50 committee split last year when Kenneth Walker's injury opened the door. Matt Waldman doubts Charbonnet will return healthy this year and notes it's his contract year, suggesting he may choose to sit out rather than risk further injury, or if he plays, may not perform well enough to reclaim a lead role. Waldman dialed back optimism about a Week 1 return after learning Charbonnet did not have surgery until the third week of February, cautioning against local beat writer hype about his early return to field work. Charbonnet is not far behind Price in draft value but carries carousel risk.
