Zach Charbonnet has had an impressive preseason during Kenneth Walker III’s absence. He looked the part in limited time running with the starters this preseason logging 5 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown. Seattle Coaches have also been praising Charbonnet’s intelligence and availability.

Walker III’s preseason injury management might just be that but there is still a concern due to previous seasons. When Walker has missed time and Charbonnet has been the starter he’s looked like a fringe RB1/Rb2 with an RB1 overall in Week 14. Seattle may continue to manage Walker throughout the season and Charbonnet appears to be more than just a back up.

Charbonnet’s ADP in the 9th round on underdog is entering the territory of a must draft RB regardless if you’ve drafted Walker or not. He appears to have a decent floor but his ceiling could be massive if Walker were to miss any time.
