Seth McGowan vs. Dallas — Handcuff Option With Limited Standalone Value

Seth McGowan has settled into the primary backup role behind Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis, handling 16 carries over his last two games. While his roster percentage has climbed above 50% as managers secure premium backfield insurance, his minimal 2% start rate mirrors his secondary involvement.

In a matchup with shootout potential against the Cowboys, our models project McGowan for roughly 7 carries and 32 rushing yards (4.5 fantasy points). Without an injury to Taylor or substantial garbage-time work, he does not offer reliable standalone flex value and should remain sidelined.

Outlook Zach Charbonnet

Zach Charbonnet vs ARI — Expanding Workload in a Favorable Home Script

After making his season debut last week with nine total touches, Charbonnet is free of injury designations and primed to pace Seattle's backfield. With starting quarterback Sam Darnold ruled out and key injuries across the offensive line, the Seahawks should emphasize the ground attack in a rainy home divisional matchup where they are solid favorites.

Our models project Charbonnet for roughly 12 carries, 51 rushing yards, and around 11.5 fantasy points. His roster rate remains high at 94% while fantasy managers gradually reinsert him into starting lineups, making him a solid Flex option with RB2 upside if Seattle controls the clock.
