Zach Charbonnet start or sit: Week 13 fantasy football advice

The 8-3 Seattle Seahawks host the 4-7 Minnesota Vikings 11.5-point favorites this week. The Vikings will start rookie UDFA QB Max Brosmer with J.J. McCarthy in concussion protocol and he might be an upgrade, but that’s not saying much even if he is. The Seahawks likely won’t be pushed too hard in this one, allowing them to run the ball with a likely lead. Of course, they have two running backs who see the field a bunch and they’re tough to figure out for fantasy.

Below, we’ll go over Zach Charbonnet’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 13.

Running back Kenneth Walker has been the nominal starter in Seattle, but Charbonnet has seen plenty of work to go along with goalline opportunities. Those opportunities have led to Charbonnet scoring seven rushing touchdowns to Walker’s four. Walker still has more fantasy points overall, but, every time Charbonnet scores, he is worth a fantasy start, especially in standard leagues.

The Vikings have been tough against running backs, but have also allowed rushing touchdowns to the position in five straight games. If the Seahawks were underdogs, it might be different, but since they are big favorites, Charbonnet makes sense as a start in a game where the Seahawks should have plenty of rushing attempts.
