BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With Kenneth Walker III potentially missing extended time with an oblique injury, Zach Charbonnet becomes the top option and a must-add on the waiver wire. The rookie running back has been efficient at times and now is in line for a massive workload.
If Charbonnet is available in your league, he's worth being aggressive in order to get him on your roster. After Walker left the game, Charbonnet finished by playing 55 of the team's 64 snaps. He received 15 carries and ran 31 routes on 42 dropbacks. He wasn't overly effective as a runner, finishing with just 47 yards, but he did catch all six of his targets for 22 yards. He still finished with 9.9 half-PPR points.
With the Seahawks playing on Thursday night, it seems very likely Walker will be out. Charbonnet will be on the RB2 radar in Week 12, but he'll face a brutal matchup against the San Fransico 49ers. It's possible Walker misses more time too. Their Week 13 isn't much friendlier against Dallas, but if Week 11 is any indication, Charbonnet will be an absolute bellcow for as long as Walker is out. That kind of volume makes him a virtual must-start in most leagues.
