Who Should I Start? Zach Charbonnet or Blake Corum

Saturday, November 8, 3:05 AM

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.

Los Angeles Rams backup running back Blake Corum has now seen double-digit carries in three straight games for the Rams as he continues to see more work alongside starter Kyren Williams. In Sunday's 42-26 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10, Corum tied a season high with 13 rushing attempts for 56 yards while playing a season-high 39% of the offensive snaps. It helped the 24-year-old's cause that L.A. pulled away by multiple scores in the second half, but fantasy managers cannot ignore the fact that he has 38 carries for 151 yards (4.0 yards per rush) in the last three contests. The downside is the fact that Corum hasn't scored since Week 2, and he has only four receptions for 15 yards on eight targets on the season. Corum is definitely touchdown-dependent and continues to work behind Williams, but his increased involvement in a high-scoring offense at least makes him worth RB3/flex consideration in deeper leagues heading into a Week 11 divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks.
