Emanuel Wilson vs Zach Charbonnet: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Emanuel Wilson and Zach Charbonnet is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Seattle Seahawks running back put up 5.1 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Zach Charbonnet of the Seattle Seahawks averaged 10.7 in 16. A 5.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.6 points favors Zach Charbonnet, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Emanuel Wilson ran for 496 yards and 3 touchdowns; Zach Charbonnet posted 730 and 12. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Both share a Week 10 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
