Who Should I Start? Zach Charbonnet or Bhayshul Tuten

Friday, November 14, 5:29 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is running into a tough matchup in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are No. 2 against opposing running backs in fantasy. This defensive front simply does not allow running backs to get loose. Charbonnet has been a more efficient runner of late. He is coming off a game in which he ran for 5.93 yards per carry. However, Charbonnet's lack of passing game usage continues to be concerning. He has just eight targets on the season. Luckily, Charbonnet has scored six touchdowns, resulting in several flex or RB2 weeks. With the Seahawks' offense often at or near the goal line, Charbonnet's chances to score remain high on a weekly basis. In Week 11, it will be difficult to count on a touchdown from Charbonnet. With the Rams likely to keep the Seahawks out of scoring position more often than not, you could end up with a serious dud performance from the third-year pro. As such, Charbonnet should remain on your bench this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had exploded for 74 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown on 15 carries. The rookie was in the middle of the best game of his young career. At least temporarily, it appeared as though he had supplanted Travis Etienne Jr. as the primary running back in Jacksonville. With Tuten currently sidelined, Etienne will check back into the game as the Jaguars' lead back. Given that the Jaguars lead by four possessions in the fourth quarter, Jacksonville could hold Tuten out for the rest of the game to avoid the risk of re-injury. He'll have seven days to get healthy before next Sunday's clash against the Arizona Cardinals on the road.
