Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Shines in lead role Sunday
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed 22 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns while corralling all seven of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-18 win over Arizona.
Starter Kenneth Walker (ankle/calf) was unable to suit up for Sunday's crucial NFC West battle, opening the door for Charbonnet to make his third start of the campaign. The sophomore backup wound up setting new career highs in both rushing (134) and receiving yards (59) while punching in a pair of touchdowns. Five of Charbonnet's seven touchdown rushes have come in three spot-starts for Walker this season, highlighting the major fantasy value that can be unearthed in those scenarios. Fantasy managers who missed out on Sunday's point bonanza should monitor Walker's status for Week 15 before putting in large bids for Seattle's talented backup ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Green Bay.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
Kenneth Walker III (ankle/calf) was banged up in practice Thursday, and if he's limited Sunday at Arizona, then Charbonnet's role could expand, making him a potential flex option in all leagues. And if Walker were out, then Charbonnet would be a starter in all formats. Charbonnet has scored at least 11.4 PPR points in two of his past five games while playing in tandem with Walker. But when Walker was out in Weeks 2 and 3 earlier this season, Charbonnet scored at least 17.9 PPR points in each outing against New England and Miami. He has flex appeal, if not more, depending on what happens with Walker in Week 14.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
When we talk about rostering handcuffs, I still have Charbonnet near the top of the list given what he's shown when Kenneth Walker III has missed time, including this season. Charbonnet scored at least 12.1 PPR points in each of the first three games this season, and he could be a lottery ticket if Walker were to miss any time moving forward. Charbonnet should be added in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Scores in close win
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed four times for 28 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets.
Charbonnet scored the Seahawks' game-winning touchdown with an eight-yard rush in the fourth quarter, his second touch within the 10-yard line Sunday. The 2023 second-round pick has yet to post more than 30 rushing yards in a game since Week 3 when Kenneth Walker was inactive, so Charbonnet's floor is highly concerning as long as Walker is upright.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Puts up 22 yards
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed six times for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.
Charbonnet handled a 38 percent snap share and received two goal-line touches, but he still produced minimal results in the divisional win. However, Kenneth Walker endured similar struggles on the ground, rushing 16 times for 41 yards but catching four of six targets for 52 yards. The goal-line touches are intriguing for Charbonnet's deep-league value, but it's fairly difficult to trust him otherwise.
It was just three weeks ago that Charbonnet scored a touchdown and 11.4 PPR Fantasy points. He catches a couple of passes every week as well. Charbonnet is a better add as a bench stash.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Inefficient in divisional win
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed four times for three yards and caught two passes (two targets) for two yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers.
Charbonnet continues to serve as the distant No. 2 running back behind Kenneth Walker, who produced 59 yards and a touchdown on 16 touches. Even worse, Charbonnet was quite inefficient in Sunday's win. While he's worth holding onto in case Walker gets injured, Charbonnet has minimal standalone value.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Charbonnet is another running back that I want to stash for the Fantasy playoffs, and he has league-winning upside if he ever gets an expanded role. We saw that earlier this season in place of Kenneth Walker III, and Charbonnet has three games with at least 10 total touches. In those outings, Charbonnet has scored at least 12.1 PPR points. He's worth adding for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB, and he could be a lottery ticket in case Walker were to miss any time down the stretch.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Stashes (RB Preview)
Rotowire
If you're looking for a back to stash in case of injury you'd be hard-pressed to do better than Charbonnet. He was a top-10 back early this year when Kenneth Walker missed time, but he's seen his roster rate dip below 60% because Seattle was on bye. If you're just looking for bench upside he's a great add.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Finishes with five touches Sunday
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed twice for eight yards and caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Rams.
Charbonnet didn't make a big impact in the box score with just five touches in Sunday's overtime loss. The backup saw 23 fewer touches than starter Kenneth Walker, highlighting the sophomore's lack of fantasy value when Seattle's backfield is at full strength. Charbonnet should remain a deep-league option coming out of the bye week when the Seahawks visit the 49ers on Nov. 17.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Scores in blowout loss
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed three times for four yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills. He also caught three of four targets for 20 yards.
Charbonnet handled 22 offensive snaps compared to Kenneth Walker's 25 snaps, which translated to 45 yards on 13 touches. It's encouraging that Charbonnet received a goal-line touch, but it's worth noting the Seahawks were trailing 31-3 at the time. Charbonnet has been quite inefficient this year with 3.5 yards per carry, and he'll continue to have limited upside as long as Walker is healthy.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Musters 14 total yards in win
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed eight times for 19 yards and caught his lone target for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Falcons.
Charbonnet actually out-snapped Kenneth Walker, who was dealing with an illness prior to the game. However, Walker finished with 93 total yards and two touchdowns while Charbonnet couldn't get much going on the ground or as a receiver. Walker has proved to be an effective receiver while also operating as the primary goal-line back, making Charbonnet tough to start in most fantasy formats.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Registers 35 yards in loss
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed five times for 20 yards and caught his lone target for 15 yards in Thursday's 36-24 loss to the 49ers.
Kenneth Walker remained the clear No. 1 option in the Seahawks backfield, as Charbonnet's fellow running back recorded 14 carries and eight catches (on eight targets) for a combined 69 yards. Charbonnet won't be a dependable fantasy option as long as Walker is healthy, but he should have some deep-league appeal in favorable matchups.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Relegated to backup
Rotowire
Charbonnet is expected to operate as the team's backup running back with the return of Kenneth Walker (oblique), who does not carry an injury designation for Monday's contest against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Charbonnet was a true workhorse over the past two weeks, tallying 32 carries and eight receptions (on nine targets) for a total of 176 yards and three touchdowns, but that workload figures to diminish significantly with Walker now back in the fold. When both backs were healthy Week 1, Charbonnet played 33 percent of the offensive snaps, averaging just 1.5 yards per carry off his eight rushes.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Stars align in spot-start
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed 18 times for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Dolphins. He added three receptions (four targets) for 16 yards as a receiver.
Charbonnet finally put opportunity and skill together to give fantasy managers a strong stat line against Miami in Week 3. The 23-year-old has contributed three touchdowns through three games for Seattle this season, giving him fantasy value heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Lions next Monday. That said, longtime starter Kenneth Walker (oblique) was spotted in practice this week, so Charbonnet could find himself back in his No. 2 role if the former is able to suit against Detroit.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Another spot start Sunday
Rotowire
Charbonnet will serve as the Seahawks' No. 1 running back Sunday versus the Dolphins with Kenneth Walker (oblique) inactive, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Cherbonnet is getting a second spot start in a row in place of Walker, who injured his oblique Week 1. Walker made his return to practice Friday as a limited participant, indicating he's making progress in his recovery. Still, Charbonnet is in line for another large workload in Walker's stead Sunday, one week removed from turning 67 of 70 offensive snaps into 19 touches for 69 total yards and one rushing TD at New England.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: In line for another big workload
Rotowire
Charbonnet likely will be the Seahawks' top running back Sunday against the Dolphins with Kenneth Walker (oblique) listed as doubtful, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
As of Thursday, Walker hadn't practiced since suffering an oblique injury in the Seahawks' Week 1 win against the Broncos. With Walker sidelined this past Sunday at New England, Charbonnet logged 67 of 70 offensive snaps, resulting in 14 carries for 38 yards and one touchdown and five catches (on five targets) for 31 yards. As for the rest of the active backfield, Kenny McIntosh played two snaps on offense and five more on special teams, while George Holani was contained to six special-team snaps. A similar breakdown of reps is likely for the trio once Sunday's contest kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
Charbonnet is expected to start in Week 2 with Kenneth Walker III (abdomen) listed as doubtful at New England. That makes Charbonnet a No. 2 running back in all leagues, and he has top-20 upside. Last week, Charbonnet had eight carries for 12 yards and caught two of three targets for 29 yards and a touchdown against Denver in the game where Walker was injured. Charbonnet would have the potential for 20 total touches in place of Walker, and Seattle will likely lean on Charbonnet as a workhorse running back, which we like.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Looks positioned as Week 2 starter
Rotowire
Charbonnet appears set to start Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots with Kenneth Walker (oblique) listed as doubtful for Week 2, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Charbonnet suited up for two games sans Walker as a rookie last season, Week 12 versus San Francisco and Week 13 versus Dallas, in which he logged 14 carries and 19 carries, respectively. The 2023 second-round pick will figure to handle a similarly notable workload atop Seattle's backfield if Walker misses Sunday's game against the Patriots, which currently seems more likely than not. Kenny McIntosh also will stand to handle an increased reserve role if Walker misses time, though he didn't log a single offensive snap Week 1.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Week 2 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We're waiting to find out the status of Kenneth Walker III (abdomen), and if he's out for Week 2 at New England then Charbonnet would be a must-start running back in all leagues. Charbonnet played behind Walker in Week 1 against Denver and finished with eight carries for 12 yards and caught two of three targets for 29 yards and a touchdown. It's not a bad idea to stash Charbonnet even if Walker plays in Week 2, and Charbonnet is worth adding for 15 percent of your remaining FAB.
