Zach Charbonnet Finds the End Zone Twice on Monday Night

Tuesday, October 21, 11:09 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet recorded 12 carries for 49 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 27-19 Week 7 win over the Houston Texans on Monday night. Seattle heavily features both Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker III out of the backfield, but Charbonnet has carved out a consistent role as the team's preferred back at the goal line. The 24-year-old has now recorded 72 carries for 205 yards and five touchdowns across six games played so far this season. In games where both Charbonnet and Walker III are healthy, both backs have limited upside. Still, Charbonnet provides a safe floor as a good bet for double-digit touches and a feature back at the goal line. Charbonnet profiles as a low-end flex option for fantasy managers heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Washington Commanders.

Woody Marks Taking Over the Texans Backfield?

Saturday, October 25, 9:15 AM

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks had a monster game in Week 4 that made him one of the hottest names on the waiver wire market. He had a down game in Week 5 before his bye week, though, causing many to question his role going forward. When the Texans returned on Monday in Seattle, he only had 15 rushing yards on 10 carries but did add three catches for 20 receiving yards and a touchdown. Even more encouraging for his value, he played a season-high 63% of snaps, compared to just 25% of snaps for Nick Chubb. Part of that could have been due to the game script with the Texans playing from behind, but it seems like the rookie is gaining more work in the timeshare. Marks has good upside against the 49ers in Week 8 as a flex play. He is ranked as the No. 27 RB in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, making him a RB3 or flex option against the 49ers, who have allowed seven running back touchdowns in seven games on the season, including five in the last three games.
