Who Should I Start? Zach Charbonnet or Blake Corum

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.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to get significant opportunities in the team's rushing game, and he can be a deep-league addition if you're looking for running back options on the waiver wire. Corum only had 10 rushing yards in Week 11 against the Seahawks, but he still did get eight carries while playing 16 snaps (31% of the offensive total). He's still working behind Kyren Williams, but he has averaged 11.5 carries per game over his last four contests, and he continues to play about one-third of the Rams' snaps. He and the Rams have a favorable schedule the rest of the season, with the Buccaneers this Sunday night and then matchups against the Panthers and Cardinals, who have been good running back matchups this season.
