Zach Charbonnet is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 9 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Zach Charbonnet was rostered in over 50% of all leagues entering Week 6. He was then limited to just five rushing yards on two attempts when the Seahawks traveled to Cincinnati in Week 6 and was sidelined by a hamstring issue in Week 7. These factors contributed to the rookie’s rise in availability.
However even though Charbonnet is not currently lurking as a candidate to leapfrog Kenneth Walker on Seattle’s depth chart, he remains cemented as the Seahawks’ RB2.
Walker was also contending with a calf issue prior to Seattle’s Week 8 matchup with Cleveland. That provided a reminder that Charbonnet will quickly launch into a sizable workload if Walker becomes impacted by injury.
Charbonnet led the backfield with 32 snaps in Week 8 while generating a season-high 53 yards on five attempts (10.6 yards per attempt). Charbonnet also captured both of his targets while accruing 11 yards as a pass-catching presence from the backfield.
Charbonnet is also capable of performing proficiently as an every-down back if that scenario transpires. This fuels the rationale for securing Charbonnet while he remains attainable.
