Ahead of this season, many Seattle Seahawks fans seem to clamor for Zach Charbonnet to be the starting running back for the team. The logic made sense. Charbonnet had been more efficient in 2024 and stayed healthier. Still, the team stuck with Walker.
Through six games of 2025, the decision makes sense. Walker and Charbonnet have both been somewhat inconsistent, but Walker has played at a higher level. He is the more explosive running back, and he is also the back playing for his next contract.
Could Seattle do even better than Walker and Charbonnet, however?
