Charbonnet's snap share and short-yardage role face pressure from Price's superior athleticism.
Charbonnet started and played 37% of snaps in Seattle's three-way backfield, generating 11.6 expected half PPR points (RB22 usage), but faces a significant athletic disadvantage versus Jadarian Price. Hayden Winks notes Charbonnet's runs were 'more textbook' but identifies a 'glaring flaw'—he lacks the speed to create explosive plays even when space exists. Coming off a February ACL surgery, Charbonnet's athleticism is unlikely to improve. While the Seahawks value his size and decision-making in short yardage, Winks suggests they should prioritize Price for early-down and between-the-20s runs to maximize offensive efficiency.

Charbonnet's return featured committee approach; Price dominated final four drives.
Charbonnet returned from a torn ACL suffered in the 2025 postseason and drew the start in Seattle's Week 8 game. He was on the field for the vast majority of the team's three short-lived opening drives but then went to the bench to watch Price and George Holani split the next four drives. The backfield split was more of a drive-to-drive committee than anticipated, with snaps going 20-12 in Price's favor over the final four drives. The source notes that backfield dynamics could change as both running backs get more reps under their belts.

37% snap share (RB22 usage); textbook runner limited by lack of speed.
Charbonnet started and played 37% of snaps, leading to 11.6 expected half PPR points (RB22 usage). He is part of a three-back committee with Jadarian Price and George Holani in a 'let-the-best-man-win' setup. His runs were more textbook, but there was space to carve out real explosives if he was simply faster, as both runs showcased that glaring flaw. The Seahawks would likely value Charbonnet's size and quality decision-making in short yardage.
