Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Zach Charbonnet

Monday, October 2, 4:35 AM

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders struggled in a 21-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Sanders was held to 19 yards on 13 carries while adding three catches for 13 yards in the loss. The veteran running back has been dealing with an assortment of injuries over the past few weeks, including a pectoral injury two weeks ago and a groin issue this past week. The various ailments could be affecting Sanders' production on the field as he was outgained by Chuba Hubbard, who finished with 41 rushing yards on 14 carries. Sanders will look to bounce back against the Detroit Lions on the road in Week 5.

Fantasy managers are still awaiting Zach Charbonnet's big breakout but in Week 3 the rookie running back gave us a taste of what is to come. The second-round pick had the most productive day of his young career against the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, toting the ball nine times for 46 yards. The line was modest but it was underscored by his snap share which leaped to 44%, nearly matching Kenneth Walker III's 49% share. In Week 4, the Seahawks head to New York to face the Giants, who are giving up 101 rushing yards per game. Charbonnet's stock is rising but he still projects as an RB4 in Week 4, though he may benefit most if the game against the struggling Giants turns into a blowout. He can be started in deep league formats but should be treated as a bench stash in 10- and 12-team leagues.
