Should You Start or Sit Zach Charbonnet in Week 11?
I spoke of Kenneth Walker’s expanded role, and the simple-minded fantasy manager would hear that and downgrade Zach Charbonnet in their rankings. But that’s not you, right? You approach this game of ours with an open mind and the willingness to look at things a bit differently.
At no point this season has Charbonnet looked like a player destined to hold standalone value while Walker is active, and the RB1 showcasing versatility eliminated all thoughts of playing his backup. That sounds like a bad thing, but it’s not.
It has stopped you from trying to force Charbonnet into your Flex spot while also ramping up the expectations of the lead back in Seattle’s offense, a role that we know is Charbonnet’s should Walker get injured.
That’s a net positive. You’re only going to play Charbonnet should Walker sit, and that RB1 role is more valuable now than it was two months ago (Charbonnet averaged 16 carries and 4.5 targets in his two games as the primary back). There is no weekly value to chase here, but we are talking about a top-five handcuff, which holds value as we progress through a long season.
