Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) might be able to make his regular-season debut in Week 7 on Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. He is expected to receive a full week of practice for the first time since tearing ligaments in his knee in a playoff game in January.
"Zach, he's going to have a full week's worth of reps. So that's exciting," coach Mike Macdonald said Monday, Oct. 19. The team has until Thursday, Oct. 22, if it will officially decide to activate him to the active roster.

Why it Matters: With rookie Jadarian Price on the reserve/injured list with a designation to return, it's been Emanuel Wilson carrying most of the load in the past couple of games, with George Holani working in on passing down, and Velus Jones Jr. helping as a tertiary option. It might take a game or two for Charbonnet to work into game shape, but it's hard to imagine he won't be the workhorse in this offense before too long, with Wilson serving as a change-of-pace option, giving Charbonnet breathers, when needed. For fantasy purposes, if Charbonnet is still available, grab him immediately.
