Zach Charbonnet's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet only received eight carries in Week 15, but he recorded 54 yards and a touchdown with the limited opportunities. The Green Bay Packers jumped out to an early lead against the Seahawks forcing Seattle to largely abandon the running game. Charbonnet did receive four targets as well but he only caught one of them for 12 yards. Luckily Charbonnet was able to find the end zone to deliver RB2 value. However, it is concerning that Seattle's offense stalled so poorly. What is more, it seems likely that starting running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) will return in Week 16. Walker's return would crater Charbonnet's value even if Charbonnet were to begin receiving more touches than he was before. Given that Sunday's solid 13.6 PPR fantasy points were Charbonnet's worst in his four starts this season, he deserves a bench spot just in case Walker is limited or continues to miss time.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet could deliver another top 10 week with starter Kenneth Walker III (calf) doubtful this week. Charbonnet has now seen extended duty due to Walker's injuries on three occasions this season. He has averaged 27.3 PPR fantasy points in those games. His most recent big performance came in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals. The most encouraging part about that game was that Charbonnet was efficient as a runner and heavily involved as a receiver. His prior games in relief of Walker were buoyed by excellent pass-catching and touchdowns despite poor rushing efficiency. If Walker can keep up the efficiency in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers, then the sky is the limit. Green Bay is No. 21 against opposing running backs in fantasy. Charbonnet is all but guaranteed an excellent passing game role so he has a chance to do a lot of damage on the ground as well. Charbonnet could be exactly what your fantasy team needs to get through the first-round of the playoffs.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet was excellent in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals. Charbonnet carried the ball 22 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught seven passes for 59 yards. As expected, Charbonnet received massive volume while filling in for an injured Kenneth Walker III (ankle/calf). Charbonnet scored almost 40 PPR fantasy points. He actually looked better than Walker has of late. Charbonnet averaged 6.24 yards per carry and looked smooth as a pass catcher. He also delivered on a massive 51-yard scamper to the end zone in the first half. The Seahawks love what Walker brings to the table, but it is hard to deny how well Charbonnet has played in his stead this season. Perhaps this performance will earn Charbonnet more opportunities moving forward. Walker's status for Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers is unknown. If Walker were to miss or be limited, Charbonnet would step right back into an RB2 role.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet suddenly finds himself in a potential starting position in Week 14 when Seattle travels to Arizona to play the Cardinals. With starting running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle/calf) experiencing a mid-week downgrade from limited participant to DNP in practice, his status for this weekend is up in the air. Charbonnet was an RB2 in games Walker missed earlier this season. He is always a solid bet to score a goal line touchdown, and he is a solid pass catcher. His volume should be massive if Walker misses given the Seahawks' attempt as well to reestablish the running game over the last few weeks. If Walker plays, Charbonnet will fall right back into his usual backup role. Even if Walker is limited, Charbonnet likely does not merit much starting consideration in fantasy.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet continued in his low-volume backup role in the Week 12 victory over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, carrying the ball six times for 22 yards (3.7 yards per carry) while not being targeted in the passing game for the first time all year. Charbonnet has only had double-digit carries twice (back in Weeks 2 and 3) when he was the starter in place of the injured Kenneth Walker III. The 23-year-old's six carries against Arizona represented his highest carry total since Week 7, but it wasn't enough to give him any kind of standalone fantasy value, even in a good matchup against a shaky Cardinals run defense. Charbonnet has been inefficient in his second NFL season (3.4 yards per carry) and will only return to fantasy relevance if Walker misses more time with injury down the stretch.
