Best Week 4 Moves From Our Experts: Grab Zach Charbonnet Before It’s Too Late
Best Week 4 Moves
Whether you're playing redraft or dynasty, knowing what moves to make is crucial to success.
That's why we're having each of our fantasy football experts give you one move to take advantage of this week.
Stash Zach Charbonnet
Rookie Jadarian Price has looked good in spurts, but he can’t seem to get out of his own way. He exited Week 2 with a chest injury and then lost a fumble early in Week 3. He got just three more touches over the final three quarters.
Price will remain involved going forward, but I bet the Seahawks can’t wait to get Charbonnet back from his ACL injury. He was a big part of last year’s Super Bowl-winning team, and HC Mike Macdonald speaks glowingly of Charbonnet every chance he gets.
If Charbonnet kept Ken Walker from being a feature back, it’s a safe bet that he’ll play a significant role alongside Price once healthy.
Charbonnet returned to practice on Thursday and figures to make his 2026 debut sometime in October. Stash him now before the news turns more positive. Charbonnet could be a fantasy starter over the second half of the season.
The Seahawks have some very attractive matchups down the stretch:
- Week 13: Cowboys
- Week 14: Giants
- Week 17: Panthers
Start Paying Attention to Strength of Schedule
We’re three weeks into the regular season, which means we’re starting to get a read on which defenses are strong, weak, or somewhere in between. That makes now a good time to work strength of schedule into your decision-making.
You’ll find SOS numbers in the Free Agent Finder, along with a dedicated strength of schedule page broken down by position.
Consider Jordan Love vs. Justin Herbert as an example. They sit back-to-back in our rest of season QB rankings at QB15 and QB16, but Love draws a much friendlier remaining schedule, especially in the near term. Love's SOS average sits fourth-friendliest through Week 8, while Herbert's ranks at the very bottom of the league.
Keep checking back as every new game adds to the sample and shifts the numbers.
Don’t Chase Ollie Gordon’s Week 3 Numbers
Gordon might look like a strong target coming off a 17-41-1 rushing line plus 3 catches for 14 yards in Week 3.
But don’t expect Gordon to be a reliable weekly fantasy producer. Much of his production last week came because Jaylen Wright was sidelined with a stinger and foot injuries. The Dolphins list Wright ahead of Gordon on their depth chart, but neither back has been very productive.
Gordon is averaging just 2.4 yards per carry, while Wright has only touched the ball three times this season. Both backs, and possibly even No. 3 RB Jarquez Hunter, will likely be involved weekly, making this a muddled situation.
Miami’s offense has scored the fewest points behind an O-line that ranks 29th in ESPN’s run-block win rate. And that was with Achane.
A timeshare backfield behind a bottom-5 run-blocking line on one of the league's worst offenses offers very little weekly fantasy appeal. Don't overreact to one box score.
It’s Time to Trust Bryce Young
Young has been one of the surprise stories of the season so far. He sits at QB5 with 23.7 fantasy points per game. What felt like a Week 1 fluke as QB3 was followed by a QB7 finish in Week 2. Last week, Young finished as QB22 but still had 48 pass attempts.
Young has the third-most attempts among QBs at 121. So the passing volume is there compared to previous seasons in which the team seemed to try to keep the ball out of his hands. HC Dave Canales is running a fast-paced offense. Carolina’s 26.36 seconds per play ranks them third in the league. That’s roughly 3.1 seconds faster than the league’s 29.48-second average.
A fast-paced offense with high passing volume makes Young a QB1 going forward, above disappointments such as Justin Herbert and Drake Maye.
That includes this week against a Lions team giving up the most points per game to QBs (30.7). The Panthers are also down their top two CBs, which could add to the shootout potential.
Start Young with confidence and consider him over bigger names going forward.
George Kittle Appears to Have Never Torn Achilles
Kittle is producing 2.07 yards per team pass attempt on his way to 15.8 PPR points per game. Both of those marks rank top 10 among TEs, common territory for Kittle.
What makes it remarkable is that he’s achieving it in just his first three games since tearing an Achilles’ tendon. Coming back from such a devastating injury at 32 years old presented a cloudy outlook, but the 49ers TE has quickly quashed any doubt.
Kittle’s even running ahead of last season’s output. He finished 2025 with 14.7 PPR points per game and 1.69 yards per team pass attempt, his lowest mark to date.
The 49ers are already missing WRs Ricky Pearsall and De’Zhaun Stribling, and might go without Mike Evans. That would make Kittle even more of a focal point on an offense leads the league in TD passes.
There is limited time to take advantage of acquiring the veteran TE before the average fantasy manager realizes Year-10 Kittle is producing like prime Kittle.
