Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Zach Charbonnet

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs continued to have success during Thursday's game against the Washington Commanders. Last week, Jacobs rushed 66 yards with a touchdown in the win over the Detroit Lions. Jacobs continued his success on Thursday with 84 yards on 23 rushing attempts with a touchdown in the victory over the Commanders. He carried the ball into the endzone in the second quarter for his second score of the season and it marked his 10th straight game with a touchdown. Jacobs will remain a RB1 and the workhorse back heading into their Week 3 matchup versus the Cleveland Browns.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet surprisingly led the Seahawks' backfield in Week 1 by a relatively wide margin. While Kenneth Walker III had 13 touches to Charbonnet's 12, Charbonnet held a 58% to 40% snap share advantage over Walker. Walker was dealing with injuries throughout the offseason that opened the door for Charbonnet to take on a larger role. As such, the snap share will likely even out as the season wears on, but the touches should remain similar. However, Charbonnet was not very present on passing downs in Week 1. Walker earned three targets to Charbonnet's zero. The passing game usage is what can propel Charbonnet into the lineup lock conversation. For now, Charbonnet's usage should be monitored, but he is worth a flex spot in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is a great bet to score a short-yardage touchdown and break off a couple of rumbling runs.
