Zach Charbonnet Emerges as Seahawks’ Lead Back as Fantasy Outlook Flips for Week 2

Analysts now recommend starting Charbonnet based on his Week 1 usage advantage.

Overview

  • Charbonnet out-snapped Kenneth Walker in the opener, roughly 58% to 40%, and handled goal-line, third-down, and two-minute work.
  • He logged 12 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown against San Francisco but saw no targets, limiting his full-PPR ceiling.
  • Walker finished with 10 rushes for 20 yards and three catches for four yards and was assessed as looking off in his debut.
  • Preseason foot soreness and inconsistent practice for Walker were noted, though he was not on the Week 1 injury report.
  • For Week 2 at Pittsburgh, The Sporting News and SBNation advise starting Charbonnet as a borderline flex and sitting Walker in a difficult matchup.
