Zach Charbonnet Deceptively Leads Work on Sluggish Backfield Day

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Charbonnet also finished the first half with a 6-3 lead in carries, but that belies the way Seattle actually approached the game.

Walker handled the team's first two possessions but drew just three total carries, and he got one of those wiped out by a holding penalty.

Charbonnet stepped in for the third drive and got the ball five times on that possession before Seattle kicked a FG.

Each RB got one more first-half drive after that, and then Walker opened the second half. The duo largely alternated, but Walker got worked in a bit more and wound up edging Charbonnet 7-6 in carries for the half.

The Seahawks didn't appear to favor either guy in specific situations, instead leaning on a rotation that slightly favored Walker.

Expect more of this type of usage going forward, which obviously hurts the value of both players.

Next, though, comes a positive matchup for the Seattle run game against a Houston D that entered Sunday ranked third-best in pass-defense DVOA but just 18th against the run.

Expect Walker to crack the top 24 of our Week 7 RB rankings for that spot, with Charbs likely in RB3 territory.
