BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The inclusion of Zach Charbonnet in this article is not a suggestion that he is looming as an immediate threat to confiscate Kenneth Walker’s role as Seattle’s lead back. However, Charbonnet should be among your targets on this week’s waiver wire.
His size, strength, and vision as a runner blend favorably with his proficiency as a receiving weapon to position him as an effective every-down back. Those attributes should also sustain his presence in a rotation with Walker and could fuel an increase in his touches as the season progresses.
Zach Charbonnet has the highest contingency upside in fantasy football. If something were to happen to Ken Walker, he’d be a weekly top 10 RB.
Charbonnet ranks out of all RBs in NextGen stats:
🔹8th in RYOE/ATT (1.15)
🔹5th in ROE% aka Success Rate (50)pic.twitter.com/2swJOkpNcE— Ben Cummins (@BenCumminsFF) October 3, 2023
Charbonnet has operated with a 30.6% snap share, which includes a season-best 43.7% when Seattle hosted Carolina in Week 3. He also accumulated 14 attempts and 77 rushing yards in Weeks 3-4, while averaging 5.5 yards per attempt. Walker leads the Seahawks backfield in snap share (60.4%), carries (64), rushing yards (283), routes run (41), and targets (10), but Charbonnet’s recent workload should not be dismissed.
Charbonnet’s usage and value would increase significantly if Walker were forced to the sideline. Charbonnet would instantly become a valuable resource on all rosters if that scenario develops.
