Outlook Zach Charbonnet
Recovery Hurdles and Rookie Arrival Dampen Former Committee Back's Fantasy Appeal
Zach Charbonnet faces a challenging road ahead after suffering a torn ACL in January. While head coach Mike Macdonald remains optimistic about a potential Week 1 return, his availability for the start of the season remains in question. Adding to the complexity, Seattle drafted rookie Jadarian Price in the first round to lead their wide-zone rushing scheme, pushing Charbonnet into a secondary depth role.
Our models project Charbonnet to receive 101 carries for 422 yards and five touchdowns, a notable step back from his 190-carry campaign in 2025. His involvement in the passing game is also expected to take a hit, with just 16 projected receptions.
Reflecting this cloud of uncertainty, his ADP has plummeted from the late-90s in May down to 132 in 1.0 PPR leagues. At this cheaper price point, he represents a high-risk, moderate-reward bench stash if he can reclaim his share of the backfield.

Outlook Kyle Monangai
Emerging Backup Offers High-Value Standalone Potential in Chicago's Rising Offense
He is the secondary back behind D'Andre Swift in an exciting Chicago offense that teammate Rome Odunze recently praised. Despite playing behind Swift, our projections expect Monangai to carve out a meaningful chunk of the ground game, anticipating 175 rush attempts for 789 yards and six touchdowns.
Over the past six weeks, Monangai's ADP has drifted from 71 down to 80. This slight slide in his draft cost makes him an attractive target in PPR formats. Rather than a falling asset, we view him as a prime value selection who can offer standalone utility while serving as an elite backup.
Firmly entrenched ahead of Roschon Johnson, he faces little threat for the secondary touches. While he caught 19 passes last year, we project 23 receptions on 30 targets. With a high roster rate near 78%, managers clearly value him as a high-upside bench stash.
