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.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
