The Seattle Seahawks (5-2) will visit the Washington Commanders (3-4) in Week 9. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Zach Charbonnet.

Should You Start or Sit Charbonnet in Week 9?
Isn’t Charbonnet essentially Tyler Allgeier?
Not from a role standpoint — obviously, one has Bijan Robinson on his team and the other doesn’t — but both are plodding backs who aren’t the least bit exciting and can cash in when given the chance.
Through six games played this season, Charbs had 205 rushing yards and six catches, while Allgeier had 203 rushing yards and three catches.
Seattle’s starter is getting the red zone work over Kenneth Walker (22-16 edge in red zone touches despite one fewer game played), but he doesn’t have a touch picking up more than 15 yards or a three-target effort this season.
You can play Charbonnet and know what you’re getting. There’s comfort in that, but it requires you to build a good roster around him, because you’re sacrificing ceiling.
