Zach Charbonnet a Touchdown-Dependent Flex Play in Week 5

Friday, October 3, 7:53 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is a flex option in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Charbonnet continues to split backfield duties with Kenneth Walker III. However, Charbonnet's lack of participation in the passing game is hurting his fantasy value. Charbonnet has scored double-digit fantasy points each time he has found the end zone this season. However, he scored one fantasy point in Week 2 when he did not score. The Seahawks trust Charbonnet as their short-yardage back. Given that this offense has demonstrated its ability to get into scoring position, Charbonnet is always a threat to score. However, he is too inconsistent to be considered for your RB2 spot. Additionally, the Buccaneers boast one of the better defensive fronts in the NFL. They have been middle-of-the-road against opposing running backs in fantasy, but opposing running backs are averaging less than three yards per carry. Charbonnet is a fine flex play, especially given that bye weeks have begun, but his upside is capped in Week 5.

Kendre Miller Looks to Build on Breakout Week Against Giants

Saturday, October 4, 9:11 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller broke out in Week 4 against the Bills, rushing 11 times for 65 yards and a touchdown. After battling injuries through his first two seasons and never carving out a consistent role, Miller finally flashed his upside in the Saints' backfield. He'll look to build on that momentum in Week 5 against a Giants defense that is allowing a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry. Miller enters the matchup as an RB3/Flex option with upside, especially if his touches continue to rise.
