Zach Charbonnet fantasy outlook 2025: Can Seahawks RB win you the league under new offensive system?

Zach Charbonnet is making a case for a bigger role with the Seattle Seahawks' offense in the 2025 season. Although the running back is behind Kenneth Walker in the depth chart, his performances merit a look for your fantasy team.

Walker is nursing an injury during preseason, which means that Charbonnet's outlook for the upcoming season is positive. Let's take a look.

Zach Charbonnet's 2025 NFL fantasy outlook

Charbonnet's production last season was consistent, as he averaged 4.2 yards per carry behind an offensive line that was among the worst in the league. He also had eight rushing touchdowns and another one through the air.

The problem, of course, was that Charbonnet was not the starter for the Seahawks. Kenneth Walker took the majority of the snaps and limited his backup to just 135 carries and 569 yards. It was a larger volume than in 2023, but not enough to consider him a starter on your team yet.

Charbonnet was RB25 with 144.9 overall points. While he certainly merits a look as a backup option for your team, he'll only deserve to become a starter if he takes away the spot from Walker in 2025.

Is Zach Charbonnet a good fantasy pick this year?

There's a good chance that he could become the starter for Seattle this year. In 2024, Walker averaged just 3.7 yards per carry after struggling with injuries, and the team is expected to change its offensive philosophy in 2025 with Klint Kubiak arriving as its offensive coordinator.

Charbonnet is a solid pick in the lower rounds, considering he has good production when on the field and Walker's problems with injuries.

Where should you pick Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet?

For the 2025 season, FantasyPros ranks Charbonnet as RB17, validating the faith that he could become a starter late in the season. Even with leagues with just 10 teams, he's a good option for RB2 in your team.

He holds an ADP of #99, so he could be a good 9th or 10th-round pick for your team if you miss out on the best running backs early.
