Who Should I Start? Zach Charbonnet or Woody Marks

Friday, November 21, 6:43 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will be a touchdown-dependent flex option once again when the Seahawks clash with the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. However, despite his touchdown-dependent status, Charbonnet has a great chance to score this week. The Titans are No. 22 in points allowed to opposing running backs in fantasy this season. They have also allowed 12 rushing touchdowns to running backs, which is good for 31st in the league. This team does not have much going for it on the defensive line, and Charbonnet could reap the benefits. Seattle will surely find itself in the red zone numerous times throughout this game. Charbonnet is the clear goal line back for this team, and he will likely receive multiple opportunities inside the five-yard line. If you are desperate for a running back start, Charbonnet could deliver for you in Week 12. It is worth noting that fellow running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) popped up on the injury report on Friday. If Walker were to sit or be limited, Charbonnet would be an automatic start this week.

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks rushed for 74 yards on 16 carries during Thursday's Week 12 win over the Buffalo Bills. He also caught his lone target for a loss of five yards. Marks led the Texans' backfield in the victory, notably logging 10 more carries than Nick Chubb. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry and was productive in short-yardage scenarios, rushing for a handful of first downs. Although Marks' lack of touchdowns and receptions resulted in him finishing below his fantasy projection in most formats, it was encouraging to see him handle the lead-back role with efficiency once again. He remains a mid-to-low RB2 with high volume heading into Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts.
