Who Should I Start? Zach Charbonnet or Jaylen Wright

Friday, September 26, 12:37 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet rushed 12 times for 39 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught each of his two targets for a total of five receiving yards. Charbonnet's rushing efficiency has dropped to a pitiful 2.46 yards per carry so far this season, but he has still managed to post double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in two of his three games by vulturing touchdowns from Kenneth Walker III. Going forward, Charbonnet must continue to contribute as a touchdown scorer or pass catcher in order to be a fantasy starter, as he doesn't get enough production from his rushing volume alone. Walker is the running back to own in Seattle, while Charbonnet is a handcuff with RB3/flex appeal in deeper leagues. The Seahawks face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright was active last Thursday after missing the first two weeks of the season with a knee injury, but he didn't play a single snap on offense or special teams. Ollie Gordon II had a solid game as the complement to De'Von Achane, taking nine carries for 38 yards and a touchdown. Achane also continues to be a PPR beast as a receiver out of the backfield, not leaving any room for Wright to get any chances yet. Coach Mike McDaniel said he wants to incorporate Wright into the game plan, but trade rumors have also been swirling this week since Wright showed some potential as a rookie last year after he was a fourth-round pick from Tennessee. He's only the RB81 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he shouldn't be started in any format until he has a role, but it is worth watching to see if he can get involved this Monday night in a favorable matchup against the Jets.
