Zach Charbonnet: full practice, debut possible Monday night

THE FACT. Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet will practice at full capacity this week as he closes out his recovery from a torn ACL, per the Seahawks' official site. Macdonald stopped short of committing to him playing in next Monday night's game against Chicago.
THE VERDICT. Add him now in every redraft league, 15% FAAB. A back cleared for full practice with the game still a week out has a real runway to debut in Week 8, and Seattle has been without him all season. Bench him until the inactives confirm it rather than starting him blind. Dynasty: this is the last cheap buying window you are going to get on him. DFS: no play until he practices fully and the team declares him active.
Careful with that 15%. We already ran this exact play a week ago: full practice on the 21st, activated off PUP on the 22nd, Rapoport reporting he was full-go and would play a lot against Kansas City. Then he was inactive, and Macdonald just kept saying they were sticking with the plan. Full participation stopped being new information six days ago. I'm bidding 3-5 percent and letting someone else pay the tax, especially with a Monday nighter buying two extra days of info. Emmanuel Wilson's 3.5 a carry isn't going anywhere by Sunday.
