So you've probably drafted already, but the work isn't done. There's been some players

0:04.1

quietly gaining value the past few days alone. And you want to target these players before they

0:08.7

potentially go out there and have a strong week one performance. So here are 10 players you need

0:13.0

to trade for as soon as possible. And we begin with the rookie out of Seattle, the running back

0:17.2

Zach Charbonnet, who might just go off week one, as Kenneth Walker is not 100%

0:20.9

fully healthy heading into this week. And the Seahawks have the perfect matchup to start this

0:24.9

season. They come in as four and a half point favorites with a nice strong team total against the

0:29.2

Rams, and the Rams don't have a defensive line that's that great. Yeah, Aaron Donald is there,

0:33.0

but after that there's no one. And not only is the defensive line shaky, at least there's Aaron Donald there, their linebackers are really shaky. Because they lost Bobby Wagner, who last year

0:41.0

was the number one graded linebacker in football, according to pro football focus, and he was

0:45.5

number two in overall run stop. So even if the Seahawks offensive line isn't projected to be that

back. And in similar game environments last year, Seattle's starting running backs averaged 14 points

1:03.0

on 17 touches per game. And Charbonnet is likely a better athlete and definitely pass catcher

1:08.0

than any of the backs that were in Seattle last season. And this can be proven by just looking at his track record.

1:12.7

He ended college with a 37 catch season and 11% target share, pretty much borderline elite

1:17.4

numbers.

1:17.9

And at the NFL Combine this past March, he tested as the six most athletic running back

1:22.3

out of 43 possible backs.

1:23.9

So all that's good news, but of course Kenneth Walker is still there.

1:26.7

But when you start to dive deeper on Kenneth Walker, it wasn't all great. Because according to the Action Network,

1:31.2

this article here was very helpful. It says Walker is more of a home run hitting back who struggled
