Charbonnet could return by October; averages 16.3 PPR in 14+ touch games.

Charbonnet is recovering from a torn ACL sustained in January, but reports suggest he could return earlier than originally expected. Week 1 appears ambitious, but an October return remains possible. Rookie Jadarian Price is being drafted as Seattle's starter, making Charbonnet the better value in the double-digit rounds. Charbonnet has averaged 16.3 fantasy points in 15 career games with at least 14 touches, showing what he can do with volume, and Kenneth Walker III's departure gives Charbonnet a path to a significant role once healthy. Price might lead the backfield early, but Charbonnet has the size, experience and nose for the end zone to force a committee.
