Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet has scored double-digit fantasy points in three of five games played in 2025. However, that production has been anchored by touchdowns. Otherwise, Charbonnet has been nowhere near a starting fantasy option. Charbonnet is splitting time with fellow running back Kenneth Walker III. Both backs are stealing work from the other. Charbonnet has also been relatively inefficient on the ground this season. His 2.6 yards per carry are highly disappointing. The sledding does not project to improve in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. Houston is No. 5 against opposing running backs in fantasy. Additionally, the Texans are allowing just 3.81 yards per carry to opposing backs. Unless the Seahawks find themselves at the goal line with a chance to hand it off to Charbonnet, he is likely to have a long day. Charbonnet is a touchdown-dependent flex option in Week 7. You can likely find a better wide receiver to fill your flex on the waiver wire.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo's incredible emergence makes him a must-start, albeit risky, low-end RB1/high-end RB2 for the tough road matchup in Denver. Skattebo, currently the 10th-ranked fantasy RB averaging 15.22 points per game, is coming off a massive 28 fantasy point performance where he rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns against the Eagles. This week, his volume will be tested against the Broncos' elite defense, which ranks 4th against fantasy running backs, allowing only 17.47 fantasy points per game. Crucially, the Denver defense has been a red-zone wall, ranking 1st in the NFL by allowing a minuscule 28.6% touchdown rate and a league-low two rushing touchdowns all season, directly threatening Skattebo's primary source of his five touchdowns. Skattebo's immense workload and role near the goal line, however, keep his ceiling high despite the difficult on-paper matchup against a run defense allowing just 89 rushing yards per game.
Still trying to decide between Charbonnet and Skattebo? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Zach Charbonnet is projected to score 5.2 points this week while Cam Skattebo is projected to score 5.1 points.
