Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Zach Charbonnet

Thursday, December 4, 3:18 PM

As expected, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) returned to practice on Thursday, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Rodgers suffered three fractures in his left (non-throwing) wrist in Week 11 and sat out of Week 12. The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer returned in last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills, going 10-for-21 for 117 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. Although Rodgers was beaten up in the Week 13 loss, he's fully expected to take the field this Sunday for a big divisional clash against the Baltimore Ravens. With limited options at his disposal in the passing game beyond receiver DK Metcalf, Rodgers has been the QB22 in overall fantasy points in 2025 through 13 weeks, with 2,086 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Against a Ravens defense that has stiffened in the second half of the season, Rodgers will be a QB2/3 in fantasy while playing through a broken left hand.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is a risky play in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota is No. 11 against opposing running backs in fantasy. They are not world beaters, but they are allowing just 3.92 yards per carry to opposing running backs. Charbonnet has not been the most efficient running back this season, but he has been a great touchdown scorer. Charbonnet has scored seven touchdowns this season. In games in which Charbonnet scores a touchdown, he delivers RB2 or flex value. If Charbonnet does not score a touchdown, he is only able to score single-digit fantasy points. While the Vikings have a solid defense, Seattle should be able to move the ball against them. If they reach the five-yard line, Charbonnet will have a good chance to score. However, with no teams on bye this week and minimal running back injuries, Charbonnet is likely off the fantasy radar. If you are forced to start him, he is a very risky play.
