Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Zach Charbonnet

Tuesday, November 11, 3:37 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been as automatic a fantasy start as it gets this season. Jacobs has scored in every game this season but one and has been a top-10 fantasy running back in five of the last six weeks. Adding to that total in his game with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, Jacobs put up 107 yards from scrimmage with five receptions and a rushing score. While Jacobs hasn't posted a 100-yard rushing game this season and has averaged just 68 rushing yards per game, fantasy managers are still beaming at just how inevitable Jacobs has been when it comes to scoring and his involvement in the Packers' offense. With the offensive game plan flowing through Jacobs and the run game each week, he's been the only thing that's consistently worked this season for Green Bay. Against the New York Giants, who are dead last in the NFL in defensive EPA per carry, Jacobs is a no-brainer RB1 lock for fantasy lineups in Week 11.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet has been wildly inefficient and ineffective this season. However, he remains fantasy relevant because his role at the goal line is netting touchdowns. Charbonnet will face a solid Cardinals defensive front in Week 10 as he continues to split time with fellow running back Kenneth Walker III. Either way, Charbonnet's inefficiencies make him difficult to trust as a legitimate starter for fantasy this week. Fortunately, Seattle's offense should have no issue moving the ball up and down the field against the Cardinals. Charbonnet already scored on this team in Week 4, and he should have had a second score in that game. With another four teams on bye in Week 10, you could throw Charbonnet in your flex and hope for a touchdown. He is a better bet than what you are likely able to scrape together on the waiver wire this week.
