Zach

Charbonnet

Charbonnet operated as the clear RB2 for Seattle in this game, with most of his touches coming in or near garbage time. He picked up two carries and one reception on Sam Darnold’s final drive of the game. Then, when the team brought in Drew Lock for clean-up duties, Charbonnet opened the drive with a pair of carries. He then gave way to Velus Jones. The Seahawks should be able to establish their ground game versus the Colts, who will be without Daniel Jones, next week. That will keep Charbonnet in the RB4 mix as a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet.

Charbonnet played behind Ken Walker in the first half and took over as the Seahawks’ primary ball carrier in the third and fourth quarters with Seattle up multiple scores. He scored his eighth touchdown of the season on a nice burst up the middle in the third quarter, and remains the preferred backfield option inside the ten yard line. Though Walker is the Seahawks’ clear-cut pass catching back, Charbonnet will continue as a touchdown-dependent RB3 play in Week 14 against Atlanta.

Walker continued with lead back duties in this one, though Zach Charbonnet had 14 rushing attempts thanks to plenty of second half attempts with the Seahawks holding a big lead. Walker was again the primary pass-catching back, running 18 pass routes on 30 Seattle drop backs. Charbonnet had just nine routes. Walker is the better fantasy option week in and week out but has lost valuable opportunities to Charbonnet near the goal line. That unfolded again against the Vikings with Charbonnet scoring his eighth touchdown of the season. Walker has four touchdowns through Week 13. He’ll be a top-24 option in Week 14 against the Falcons.

Charbonnet was not targeted in the passing game. The Seahawks’ coaching staff followed through on their pledge to give Kenneth Walker a greater percentage of the Seahawks’ snap share, but Charbonnet naturally found time to vulture a Walker score. After KWIII moved the Seahawks down the field midway through the third quarter with gains of 19, 11 and 29 yards, Charbonnet took two of the next three handles for six and five yards, with the latter ending in the end zone. Frustrating for Walker managers, though this was ultimately a more concerning day for Charbonnet. Walker got his increased work and remained efficient. It leaves Charbonnet as a touchdown-or-bust FLEX option for Week 13 against the Vikings.

Walker led the backfield in every category, as Zach Charboonet was limited to 37 yards on 11 rushes and saw two targets. Walker’s 16 carries were the second most of his 2025 season. Walker held a lead in pass routes, 20 to 14, and led the backfield in targets with 3. He would have had a second touchdown but for a holding call that brought back a lengthy TD scamper in the second half. Walker might be emerging as the nominal lead back in the Seattle backfield — a valuable role if the Seahawks remain run heavy down the stretch. Walker should be locked into lineups next week against a miserable Tennessee defense.

Charbonnet was on the wrong side of the Seahawks’ running back rotation in Week 11. Ken Walker led the Seattle backfield with 16 rushing attempts for 67 yards and a touchdown to go along with three catches for 44 yards. Walker held a lead in pass routes, 20 to 14, and led the backfield in targets (3). Perhaps the Seahawks are ready to use their best running back as the team’s primary rusher down the stretch. Charbonnet will be a touchdown-dependent RB3 in Week 12 against the Titans.

Ken Walker also had 14 rushes (for 67 yards) and ran more pass routes than Charbonnet in a game that saw Sam Darnold log a grand total of 13 drop backs. Importantly, Charbonnet continues to dominate inside-the-ten rushes. He scored on one such opportunity in this game, and now has six rushing scores in 2025. Walker has three touchdowns on the ground and hasn’t scored a rushing TD since Week 3. Charbonnet will be a touchdown-reliant RB3 play in Week 11 against the Rams.

Walker once again split the backfield with Zach Charbonnet in one of the least appealing backfields in all of fantasy football. Charbonnet also had 14 rushing attempts (for 83 yards) and scored on a short touchdown. Charbonnet’s inside-the-ten domination has left Walker with little to no weekly touchdown upside. Sunday marked Walker’s fourth highest carry total of the season, thanks mostly to the Seahawks entering clock-killing mode early in the second half. Walker, who ran eight routes on 13 Seattle drop backs in Week 10, profiles as a top-30 running back play for Week 11 against the Rams.

Walker continued to operate in a strict timeshare with Zach Charbonnet, the latter of whom managed just 25 yards on eight carries and an additional 21 yards on his lone reception. The Seahawks ran only 49 offensive plays, which was mostly due to the extreme efficiency they enjoyed against a hapless Commanders team that chose to deploy man coverage throughout the first half. A 31-7 halftime lead set the backs up well for additional production after the break but the team took their foot off the gas after tacking on an additional score in the third quarter on a one-yard rushing score from tight end AJ Barner. Walker and Charbonnet could be busier in Week 10 when the Seahawks host the Cardinals, although the split in usage keeps both heavily reliant on touchdowns to return usable counting stats in a fantasy setting.

Charbonnet was narrowly out-touched by Kenneth Walker III, 17-14, but Charbonnet critically remains the Seahawks’ primary running back in scoring position. Charbonnet was seemingly stopped before breaking the end zone’s plain on his first score, but pushed the ball across with the help of his teammates and may have received a little extra leniency after the Seahawks were on the losing end of a bizarre safety-turned-touchback sequence on the Texans’ first drive. His second touchdown was an easy run around the left side of the Seahawks’ line from two yards out. He notably caught a pass for no gain on the prior play. Charbonnet is a touchdown-dependent RB2 against the Commanders in Week 9. The Seahawks are on bye in Week 8.
