Fantasy Football Outlook
Seattle Seahawks
Hold Kenneth Walker, Add Zach Charbonnet
Running back Kenneth Walker scored multiple TDs again with 2 more scores versus the Panthers. 18 carries for 97 rushing yards. Added three catches on three targets for 59 yards. He was listed as a buy last week and came up big again. Third in the NFL in red-zone carries (14) and tied for first in red-zone rushing TDs (4).
But all that glitters is not gold.
Because Zach Charbonnet got his most run to date. 9 carries for 46 yards along with one catch. But Charbonnet ran more routes (16 versus 10) and the two RBs split snaps nearly 50/50. 51% for Walker and 43% for Charbs. The snap usage was not enough to stop Walker’s fantasy production – but Charbs’ role is worth monitoring. He needs to be stashed.
This is also hardly the time to sell high given Seattle has the Giants up next and a bye week to get their offensive line healthy.
Carolina Panthers
Buy Miles Sanders, Sell Adam Thielen
Miles Sanders‘ receiving role is here to stay. Nine targets in Week 3. 5 for 38. Ran a route on 57% of dropbacks (an increase from Weeks 1-2) with a 65% snap share in a game where Carolina ran 75 plays.
Sanders added nine carries for 24 yards and 1 TD.
Adam Thielen? Did the Red Rifle find him the fountain of youth? 11-145-1 on 14 targets.
Andy Dalton threw 58 times…for 361 yards and 2 TDs. Yes, Seattle’s defense is that bad.
So yes. Sell high on the 33-year-old WR.
