Who Should I Start? Zach Charbonnet or Isaac Guerendo

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will be a touchdown-dependent flex in Week 15. At this point in the season, we know what the deal is with Charbonnet. If he scores a touchdown, then you are generally happy. The trick is to figure out when he is most likely to score. The Colts have a solid defense, but it is nothing that the Seahawks' offense cannot handle. With that in mind, Seattle should find itself in scoring position throughout the game. Charbonnet is a good bet to receive a carry or two inside the five-yard line, and he has been relatively effective at converting those types of carries into touchdowns in 2025. If he does not score a touchdown, do not expect Charbonnet to do much in fantasy. Charbonnet does not receive enough volume, nor is he efficient enough, to score many fantasy points as a runner. Additionally, Charbonnet is virtually a non-factor as a receiver, with several games this season featuring zero catches. Charbonnet can be flexed this week, but he will remain extremely touchdown-dependent.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was thrust into action in his rookie season in the NFL in 2024 because Christian McCaffrey missed most of the year due to injuries. Guerendo finished with 84 rushing attempts for 420 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) and also chipped in 15 catches on 16 targets as a pass-catcher for 152 yards. Fantasy managers probably viewed him as a pretty valuable handcuff for the injury-prone CMC going into 2025 drafts, but the Niners' acquisition of Brian Robinson Jr. before the season pretty much killed whatever fantasy appeal he had. Through the first seven weeks of his sophomore campaign, the 25-year-old former fourth-rounder has yet to play an offensive snap with CMC and B-Rob both staying healthy. Instead, Guerendo has been limited to a special teams role, returning five kickoffs for a combined 100 yards.
