Why it matters
The Seahawks rank 17th in rushing yards and 24th in rushing efficiency at 3.9 yards per carry, which keeps their backfield under scrutiny. Analysts are weighing whether returning players can fix the problem before any outside move is made.

Nov. 10: NFL trade deadline.
Season Trajectory
The NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10 forces contenders to decide quickly whether their current backfield can carry them through the playoff race. Seattle's rushing ranking puts pressure on its decision-makers to determine whether Charbonnet and Price can carry the load.
Fantasy managers relying on Seattle's backfield should track Charbonnet's return and Price's workload before the deadline. A trade of Jeanty would reshape rushing projections for both teams.
The takeaway
Seattle's rushing struggles make a deadline move plausible, but the return of Charbonnet and Price will likely decide whether one happens. Readers should watch the Nov. 10 deadline closely.
What happens next
The NFL trade deadline falls on Nov. 10, which is the date by which any Jeanty trade must be completed.
