Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Complementary role in 2023

Charbonnet finished the 2023 season with 108 rushes for 462 yards and a touchdown and 33 receptions on 40 targets for 209 yards.

Charbonnet often played around 50 percent of the offensive snaps in a game, but Kenneth Walker was the clear lead back with 248 touches, 1,164 yards from scrimmage and nine total touchdowns. Despite the lopsided workload split, Charbonnet showed promise as a rookie, especially as a pass-catcher. Moreover, his 4.3 YPC compares well to Walker's 4.1 YPC on about twice the carries, and it's almost certain that Charbonnet could hold up to an increased workload given his size and track record in college. Still, he likely won't see that kind of role as long as Walker is healthy, so Charbonnet projects as a later-round insurance policy in 2024.
