Fantasy Football Player Notes

It's a good bet that the Seahawks' running game will thrive under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and run game coordinator Rick Dennison. The Kubiak-Dennison combo has been ground-game gold for years dating back to Dennison's pairing with Klint's dad, Gary Kubiak, in the '90s. The Seahawks' running scheme will utilize a lot of outside zone, and Kenneth Walker has been ultra-efficient on outside zone runs early in his career. Walker has been productive when healthy during his time in Seattle, but he's missed 10 games over his first three NFL seasons.

Zach Charbonnet has been good for the Seahawks whenever he's gotten an opportunity. He averaged 3.35 yards after contact per carry last year and forced 32 missed tackles on only 135 rushing attempts. When Kenneth Walker was hurt, Charbonnet had a two-touchdown game against Miami and another two touchdowns against Arizona. Charbonnet has been good as a pass catcher, with 75 catches over his first two seasons. Charbonnet is one of the most valuable handcuff running backs, and he might even offer some stand-alone value.
