Who Should I Start? Zach Charbonnet or Jaydon Blue

The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the 2025 season with a clear backfield competition. Kenneth Walker III has been outstanding across his first three years in the league, but recurring injuries have left the door open for third-year back Zach Charbonnet to push for more snaps. Charbonnet totaled eight touchdowns in 2024 despite starting just six of 17 games, showcasing his explosiveness and versatility. With new quarterback Sam Darnold under center, this two-headed backfield could emerge as one of the most dynamic tandems in the NFL, and a tricky one for fantasy managers to navigate.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer had more good things to say about rookie running back Jaydon Blue at training camp on Thursday. "He's electric when he gets the ball," Schottenheimer said. Blue, a fifth-round selection this April, has quickly distanced himself from a report before training camp suggesting the 21-year-old RB was "borderline lazy." Since then, he's done nothing but impress with "good burn" and elite speed and pass-catching ability as he competes for playing time in 2025. He's also seen work with the first-team offense and didn't disappoint. Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders came into camp as the favorites for most of the early-season touches, but Dallas may be re-evaluating that right now. Blue's fantasy stock is most definitely on the rise and he should be a popular late-round dart throw at RB.
