2025 Fantasy Outlook
Charbonnet is likely overqualified as the RB2 in Seattle behind Kenneth Walker, and when the latter missed time in 2024 due to injury, the former demonstrated his value. Charbonnet was good enough as a spot starter in Walker's place to potentially make their workload split more even in 2025 than it was in 2023 or 2024 – years in which Walker got most of the touches and Charbonnet got little more than passing-down scraps. Walker is the more explosive runner, but Charbonnet's combination of passing-down skills and size (6-foot-1, 214 pounds) arguably makes him just as valuable. The Seahawks could very well give both RBs large workloads in 2025 under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, because new quarterback Sam Darnold struggles to deal with pressure and doesn't have great receiving weapons. In such a scenario, Charbonnet might provide FLEX utility even when Walker is healthy, in addition to the usual RB1 upside if Walker were to miss time. Charbonnet scored six touchdowns in his six starts last season, with 66 or more yards from scrimmage in each game. Read Past Outlooks

Leads backfield in Week 1 loss
Charbonnet took 12 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks opened the 2025 season splitting backfield work between Kenneth Walker and Charbonnet. The latter wound up cashing in Seattle's lone rushing touchdown and finishing with the superior fantasy line. Charbonnet already showed that he can handle an expanded role while filling in for Walker last season, so we could be witnessing the torch being passed to the younger option. Charbonnet provides more fantasy upside over Walker in a timeshare due to his durability and work in the passing game (52 targets in 2024).

Charbonnet might eventually gain on Kenneth Walker in the competition for carries in the Seattle backfield, but in 2023 there was a clear division of labor in which Walker dominated the important carries while Charbonnet handled passing downs and some low-leverage carries. It wasn't enough for Charbonnet to establish fantasy value apart from the two games Walker missed, as the rookie second-round pick spent a lot of time blocking and was targeted just 30 times. As long as Charbonnet is just a passing-down player for the Seahawks, it will be difficult for him to establish mainstream fantasy value, though his college production and 214-pound frame suggest he'd at least be busy if Walker were to miss games. The UCLA standout and 2023 second-round pick produced like a starting NFL running back in college and backed it up with solid athletic testing, but the same can be said of Walker, who was also a second-round pick (in 2022). Charbonnet specifically needs to gain ground on Walker in the rushing rotation to carve out fantasy relevance that isn't entirely dependent on his backfield mate missing time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line for larger role in 2025
Charbonnet is likely to see more playing time in 2025, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Kenneth Walker is expected to remain Seattle's top running back when available, but Charbonnet is expected to mix in frequently in an effort to keep Walker healthy. Charbonnet also has a chance to get numerous spot starts should Walker continue to miss time due to injuries. Walker has already dealt with ankle injuries during OTAs and training camp after missing six games during the 2024 regular season.
