Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Zach Charbonnet

Friday, December 12, 2:41 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) has been ruled out for the third straight week with injuries to his knee and ankle. 6th-round rookie Devin Neal (abdomen), coming off an RB12 finish in a Week 14 win over the Buccaneers, has been limited at practice with an abdomen issue of his own. The Saints' final practice report of the week bears watching, because if Neal is unable to suit up for a Week 15 divisional matchup with the Panthers, New Orleans is left with Audric Estime and Evan Hull atop the running back depth chart. Carolina's defense has been a plus matchup for opposing running backs, so if Neal is able to go on Sunday, he should be viewed as a safe floor RB2/flex play.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will be a touchdown-dependent flex in Week 15. At this point in the season, we know what the deal is with Charbonnet. If he scores a touchdown, then you are generally happy. The trick is to figure out when he is most likely to score. The Colts have a solid defense, but it is nothing that the Seahawks' offense cannot handle. With that in mind, Seattle should find itself in scoring position throughout the game. Charbonnet is a good bet to receive a carry or two inside the five-yard line, and he has been relatively effective at converting those types of carries into touchdowns in 2025. If he does not score a touchdown, do not expect Charbonnet to do much in fantasy. Charbonnet does not receive enough volume, nor is he efficient enough, to score many fantasy points as a runner. Additionally, Charbonnet is virtually a non-factor as a receiver, with several games this season featuring zero catches. Charbonnet can be flexed this week, but he will remain extremely touchdown-dependent.
