Charbonnet rushed 14 times for 59 yards while collecting a lateral for 32 receiving yards in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams.
Charbonnet started the Seahawks' final game of the regular season with Kenneth Walker (ankle) mending on injured reserve. The 23-year-old Charbonnet had a peculiar stat line when he supplanted his modest 59 rushing yards with 32 receiving yards on a lateral from Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Charbonnet technically did not record a target or reception in Sunday's season finale, but his combined efforts brought the well-rounded backup up to 909 combined yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns across 17 games this year. Expect Charbonnet to continue establishing himself as a candidate to be Seattle's every-down back as the aforementioned Walker enters the final year of his four-year contract.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Finishes with 76 total yards in win
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed 15 times for 57 yards and secured all three targets for 19 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 win over the Bears on Thursday night.
Charbonnet once again stepped in for Kenneth Walker (ankle, IR) and put together a serviceable, albeit unspectacular, performance. The second-year back appeared headed for a much bigger night when he netted 24 yards on his first four carries during the opening drive, but he often found tough sledding on the ground for the remainder of the game. Nevertheless, Charbonnet already has proven capable of shouldering the bulk of the Seahawks' ground attack on multiple occasions, and he should have a pivotal role in a Week 18 road battle against the Rams that could potentially be for the NFC West title.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Headed for another start Thursday
Rotowire
Charbonnet (elbow) doesn't carry a designation and is expected to start Thursday at Chicago with Kenneth Walker (ankle) ruled out for the game, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Walker thus will be inactive for a third time in four games, affording Charbonnet his third starting nod during that stretch. When Walker was sidelined Weeks 14 and 15 due to a calf injury, Charbonnet paced the Seahawks backfield to the tune of 38 touches for 259 yards from scrimmage and three rushing touchdowns. Reserve Kenny McIntosh also got in the act during those two games, tallying 54 total yards on 12 touches.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: RBs to Start
Rotowire
If Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is out for Thursday's game as expected then Charbonnet is a must-start running back in all leagues. He started four games this season for Walker, and Charbonnet scored at least 13.6 PPR points in each outing, including three games with at least 17.9 PPR points. The Bears have allowed a running back to score at least 15.4 PPR points in six games in a row, with eight rushing touchdowns over that span. Charbonnet has top-10 upside in all formats if Walker is out in Week 17.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Estimated as limited Monday
Rotowire
Charbonnet was estimated as a limited practice participant Monday due to an elbow issue, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Charbonnet logged just 13 offensive snaps -- his fewest of the season -- Sunday against Minnesota, but he may have picked up an elbow injury during his time in the game. The fact that he was estimated as a limited participant Monday could indicate that the issue isn't serious, though more clarity should come as the week progresses. Charbonnet's status is particularly pertinent given that lead back Kenneth Walker suffered an ankle injury Sunday and was slated for an MRI on Monday while being an estimated DNP. If Walker is held out Thursday versus the Bears and Charbonnet is healthy enough to suit up, the latter would presumably take on most of the carries for the Seahawks.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Increased role may await
Rotowire
Charbonnet lost one yard on his only carry while corralling both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to Minnesota.
Charbonnet was expected to remain a "big part" of Seattle's game plan despite the return of starting tailback Kenneth Walker (ankle). While the lie detector test proved the team's report to be false, Walker suffered an ankle injury late in the narrow loss, which could afford Charbonnet the opportunity to start in Week 17 and beyond. We will have to wait for the MRI results on the starter's ankle early in the practice week, but fantasy managers who felt scorned by Charbonnet in Week 16 should absolutely hang onto the talented backup ahead of Thursday's tilt against Chicago.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Remains part of Week 16 game plan
Rotowire
Charbonnet is expected to remain "a big part" of the Seahawks' game plan for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Even though the Seahawks are welcoming lead back Kenneth Walker (calf) back from a two-game absence, Charbonnet is unlikely to be completely phased out after he averaged 6.8 yards per carry and 8.9 yards per reception on 38 total touches over the past two weeks. Garafolo notes that Charbonnet is serving as a team captain Sunday, and because of that, the Seahawks are expected to announce him as a starter. Even so, Charbonnet is still likely to see his playing time and touch count take a significant hit with the return of Walker, who turned in a pair of full practices to close out the week and cleared up any concerns about his health in the process.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Gets back to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Charbonnet (oblique) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Charbonnet wasn't able to log any drills Wednesday due to an oblique injury, so his return to some activity one day later is a step in the right direction. Meanwhile, fellow RB Kenneth Walker (calf) practiced Thursday for the first time in more than two weeks, and he was a full participant at that. As a result, Walker appears set to regain the No. 1 role out of the Seahawks backfield Sunday versus the Vikings, which would relegate Charbonnet to backup duties, assuming he's active.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: RBs to Start
Rotowire
We'll continue to monitor the status of Kenneth Walker III (calf), but if he remains out for Week 16 against Minnesota, then Charbonnet is worth starting in all leagues. It's a tough matchup since the Vikings are No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but Charbonnet has scored at least 13.6 PPR points in all four starts he's made for Walker this season. Three running backs in the past three games have scored at least 11.1 PPR points against Minnesota, and hopefully, Geno Smith (knee) can play for Seattle in Week 16 as well.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Trending towards another start
Rotowire
Charbonnet is expected to start Sunday versus the Packers after the Seahawks listed Kenneth Walker (ankle/calf) as doubtful, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Walker's status may not be confirmed until the inactive list is released 90 minutes ahead of the Sunday night game, but considering he didn't practice all week, it looks like he should sit out for a second straight game. Charbonnet was fantastic as the starter in the Week 14 win over the Cardinals, turning 29 touches into 193 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
Kenneth Walker III (ankle/calf) was banged up in practice Thursday, and if he's limited Sunday at Arizona, then Charbonnet's role could expand, making him a potential flex option in all leagues. And if Walker were out, then Charbonnet would be a starter in all formats. Charbonnet has scored at least 11.4 PPR points in two of his past five games while playing in tandem with Walker. But when Walker was out in Weeks 2 and 3 earlier this season, Charbonnet scored at least 17.9 PPR points in each outing against New England and Miami. He has flex appeal, if not more, depending on what happens with Walker in Week 14.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
When we talk about rostering handcuffs, I still have Charbonnet near the top of the list given what he's shown when Kenneth Walker III has missed time, including this season. Charbonnet scored at least 12.1 PPR points in each of the first three games this season, and he could be a lottery ticket if Walker were to miss any time moving forward. Charbonnet should be added in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Scores in close win
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed four times for 28 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets.
Charbonnet scored the Seahawks' game-winning touchdown with an eight-yard rush in the fourth quarter, his second touch within the 10-yard line Sunday. The 2023 second-round pick has yet to post more than 30 rushing yards in a game since Week 3 when Kenneth Walker was inactive, so Charbonnet's floor is highly concerning as long as Walker is upright.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Puts up 22 yards
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed six times for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.
Charbonnet handled a 38 percent snap share and received two goal-line touches, but he still produced minimal results in the divisional win. However, Kenneth Walker endured similar struggles on the ground, rushing 16 times for 41 yards but catching four of six targets for 52 yards. The goal-line touches are intriguing for Charbonnet's deep-league value, but it's fairly difficult to trust him otherwise.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Inefficient in divisional win
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed four times for three yards and caught two passes (two targets) for two yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers.
Charbonnet continues to serve as the distant No. 2 running back behind Kenneth Walker, who produced 59 yards and a touchdown on 16 touches. Even worse, Charbonnet was quite inefficient in Sunday's win. While he's worth holding onto in case Walker gets injured, Charbonnet has minimal standalone value.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Charbonnet is another running back that I want to stash for the Fantasy playoffs, and he has league-winning upside if he ever gets an expanded role. We saw that earlier this season in place of Kenneth Walker III, and Charbonnet has three games with at least 10 total touches. In those outings, Charbonnet has scored at least 12.1 PPR points. He's worth adding for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB, and he could be a lottery ticket in case Walker were to miss any time down the stretch.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Finishes with five touches Sunday
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed twice for eight yards and caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Rams.
Charbonnet didn't make a big impact in the box score with just five touches in Sunday's overtime loss. The backup saw 23 fewer touches than starter Kenneth Walker, highlighting the sophomore's lack of fantasy value when Seattle's backfield is at full strength. Charbonnet should remain a deep-league option coming out of the bye week when the Seahawks visit the 49ers on Nov. 17.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Scores in blowout loss
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed three times for four yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills. He also caught three of four targets for 20 yards.
Charbonnet handled 22 offensive snaps compared to Kenneth Walker's 25 snaps, which translated to 45 yards on 13 touches. It's encouraging that Charbonnet received a goal-line touch, but it's worth noting the Seahawks were trailing 31-3 at the time. Charbonnet has been quite inefficient this year with 3.5 yards per carry, and he'll continue to have limited upside as long as Walker is healthy.

Charbonnet rushed eight times for 19 yards and caught his lone target for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Falcons.
Charbonnet actually out-snapped Kenneth Walker, who was dealing with an illness prior to the game. However, Walker finished with 93 total yards and two touchdowns while Charbonnet couldn't get much going on the ground or as a receiver. Walker has proved to be an effective receiver while also operating as the primary goal-line back, making Charbonnet tough to start in most fantasy formats.

Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Registers 35 yards in loss
Rotowire
Charbonnet rushed five times for 20 yards and caught his lone target for 15 yards in Thursday's 36-24 loss to the 49ers.
Kenneth Walker remained the clear No. 1 option in the Seahawks backfield, as Charbonnet's fellow running back recorded 14 carries and eight catches (on eight targets) for a combined 69 yards. Charbonnet won't be a dependable fantasy option as long as Walker is healthy, but he should have some deep-league appeal in favorable matchups.
