BALLER MOVE: Start (if Kenneth Walker is out) Sit (if Walker plays)
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 or RB4
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet has fantastic value if lead running back Kenneth Walker isn't able to play. Charbonnet has dominated snaps and touches for Seattle running backs in Walker's absence, and turned that into great fantasy production.

The Seahawks likely don't trust in 3rd-string running back Kenny McIntosh, leading to the workhorse role for Charbonnet in Walker's absence.

Don't expect these numbers to replicate even if Walker doesn't play in Week 4. The Seahawks will face the Detroit Lions, who have only given up six points per game to opposing running backs this season. They've been utterly dominant, holding star RB James Conner to just 1.89 yards per carry last week. He scored 3.50 PPR fantasy points.
The role and potential for touchdowns and dump-off passes are too great to bench Charbonnet for. Typically most starting RBs should be started in fantasy leagues as well. However, there's bust potential even if Walker doesn't play, and if Walker is active, Charbonnet should ride the bench.

BALLER MOVE: Consider in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: The Arizona Cardinals run at the eighth-highest rate in the league.
