BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB42
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is one of the top handcuffs in fantasy football. He was the starter in Week 2 and Week 3, with Kenneth Walker III dealing with an injury. The second-year running back averaged 16 rushing attempts for 64.5 yards and 1.5 touchdowns in those two games, scoring at least 15.4 half-point PPR fantasy points in both contests.

Furthermore, Charbonnet was a force in the passing game, totaling eight receptions for 47 receiving yards in those two matchups. However, his fantasy value takes a massive hit when Walker is healthy. Over the past two weeks, Charbonnet averaged six touches for 42 scrimmage yards and 6.2 fantasy points per game, scoring 7.9 or fewer in both matchups.
Walker is healthy and will play Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers. However, Charbonnet is a desperation flex option for fantasy players in deeper leagues. The 49ers have had an average run defense this season. Yet, the Seahawks could find themselves chasing points, leading to more work in the passing game for Charbonnet.
