Spin: After handling 31 offensive snaps (44 percent) in Week 3, the rookie running back logged just 11 snaps (22 percent) in the prime-time game. It's encouraging that he saw three targets while Kenneth Walker wasn't targeted at all, but it remains clear that Charbonnet is a distant No. 2 in the Seattle backfield for now.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Charbonnet was selected in the second round of April's draft. It was a rough landing spot for the UCLA product, as his best-case scenario may now be a committee attack along with Kenneth Walker III in Seattle. Charbonnet is a big back with solid speed and three-down ability who can be a plus as a rusher, receiver and blocker. After transferring from Michigan, he produced at least 225 touches, 1,300 yards and 13 TDs in both seasons at UCLA. He ended up with 39 TDs in 41 collegiate games, though his YAC and elusiveness numbers were more pedestrian than good. Charbonnet will have a role in Seattle, but with Walker taking on a large share of the carries, he's unlikely to provide consistent flex value. He's an elite insurance option, though, and should be stashed on benches.
