Charbonnet had 13 games last season with 10 or fewer touches, all of which came when Kenneth Walker was on the field. Not surprisingly, Charbonnet averaged 5.1 PPR points per game in those situations. That's not ideal, and unfortunately, it's not likely to change in 2024. Not only does new playcaller Ryan Grubb figure to prefer Walker to Charbonnet, but Grubb is more of a pass-friendly coordinator who has never cultivated big-time pass-catching running backs in his last three years of college football work. It pretty much wedges Charbonnet into a lottery-ticket backup RB who only should see lineups when Walker misses playing time. Walker has missed two games in each of his first two seasons. Be careful choosing Charbonnet over other backups who have more upside once you get into Round 9-plus.
Charbonnet possesses an impressive blend of power and deft receiving skills, and he drew a lot of buzz after being selected by the Seahawks in the second round of last year's NFL draft. Charbonnet was on the field for nearly the same number of snaps as Kenneth Walker III, however, he was not entrusted with an identical workload as a rookie. In fact, Charbonnet registered double-digit carries (an average of 16 per game) only when Walker was sidelined from Weeks 11 through 13 last season. He should have a slightly larger role moving forward, but remains more insurance policy than legitimate starter for fantasy purposes.
