Should I Start Zach Charbonnet On Thursday Night?
Charbonnet is the RB27 for the year, averaging 9.8 fantasy points per game despite seeing little action when Walker is healthy. Yet, he has eight rushing touchdowns on 106 attempts this season. More importantly, the second-year pro has been outstanding as the starting running back.

The former UCLA star has been unstoppable in his four starts this year. Charbonnet has averaged 79.3 rushing yards and 21.9 fantasy points per game in his four starts, totaling six rushing touchdowns. He has scored at least 13.1 fantasy points in all four games, including 24 or more twice.
More importantly, Charbonnet faces an awful Chicago Bears run defense tonight. They have surrendered 23.3 fantasy points per game to running backs, the fourth-most in the NFL. The Bears have given up over 100 rushing yards to running backs in all but three games this season. Furthermore, Chicago has allowed six rushing touchdowns to running backs over the past three weeks.
