Their 2025 seasons

Caleb Douglas is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Zach Charbonnet played 16 games and scored 181.4 PPR points, 11.3 a game, finishing RB24.

He carried 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns, and caught 20 of 24 targets for 144 more yards.

That came to 11-12 carries a game at 4.0 yards a carry and 1.3 catches a game.

He was on the field for 49 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Caleb Douglas is a wide receiver and Zach Charbonnet a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Caleb Douglas is off in Week 6 and Zach Charbonnet in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.1 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
