Tyler Allgeier vs Zach Charbonnet: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Tyler Allgeier and Zach Charbonnet is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Arizona Cardinals running back put up 6.8 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Zach Charbonnet of the Seattle Seahawks averaged 10.7 in 16. A 3.9-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.9 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. Tyler Allgeier ran for 514 yards and 8 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.
Tyler Allgeier has his bye in Week 11, and Zach Charbonnet rests in Week 10. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
