Zach Charbonnet's fantasy role in Week 10

Zach Charbonnet goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a matchup-dependent RB option for the SEA. He is rostered in 80% of leagues and actually started in 50% of them, and we rank him RB26 on our own weekly board at 5.7 projected points.

Interest is climbing — roster rates moved up about 7% over the last week, which usually means managers are reacting to a bigger snap or target share.

No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.

Week 10 matchup breakdown

The matchup: at LV. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.

Against a typical starting RB baseline of 11 points, his 5.7-point projection is 5.3 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.

How to play it

Sit Zach Charbonnet in Week 10 if you have a real alternative — 5.7 projected points lands 5.3 under the RB starter line.

If you are deciding between him and another RB, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Zach Charbonnet (SEA RB), our RB26 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at LV, projecting 5.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 5.3 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 48% below positional par is a bench line for me. The at LV draw matters here — road snaps against LV shape how often he's asked to do something. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.

Tina's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Zach Charbonnet (SEA RB), our RB26 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at LV, projecting 5.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 5.3 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. On the road against LV, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Roster share is moving +7.3% week over week, so the rest of the country is catching up. He's still in 50% of lineups at 80% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
