Charbonnet's Friday practice participation is currently unknown but he logged a DNP on Wednesday before being moderately upgraded to an LP on Thursday. If he managed to practice in full on Friday, he is likely healthy enough to handle his typical sidekick workload alongside starter Kenneth Walker III (calf), who returns after a two-week absence. If Charbonnet remained limited, the Seahawks could choose to lean heavily on Walker against the Vikings.
Smith ostensibly remained setback-free all week so his knee appears to be reasonably healthy. It is unlikely he scrambles for a season-high rushing stat line but he should be able to plant and drive the ball downfield adequately. His potentially limited mobility likely results in a passing game designed to exploit the Vikings' aggressive blitz tactics, which could lead to big outings for players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Kenneth Walker III. Smith is a borderline QB1/2.
The Seahawks smartly allowed Walker to take two games off after suffering a Week 13 calf strain. Fantasy managers should expect the explosive RB to return to his starting role despite Zach Charbonnet's recent successes. Walker is a borderline RB1/2 for the occasion.
Walker (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (knee) remained a full participant in Thursday's practice, and he had his best weapons back with him.
