Who Should I Start? Zach Charbonnet or Drake Maye

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.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 281 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 11 win over the New York Jets. He also took one sack and rushed for two yards. The former No. 2 pick didn't have to go above and beyond on Thursday as the Patriots prioritized running the football to beat New York. Nevertheless, Maye still attempted 34 passes and improved his season completion rate by one-fifth of a percentage point. He continues to rank as the highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy football, and he has also propelled his team to sole possession of first place in the NFL standings. Fantasy managers should continue to view Maye as a high-end QB1 heading into Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
