Should I start Kalif Raymond or Zach Charbonnet in Week 7?
Updated Oct 21, 1:41 PM ET. Week 8 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kalif Raymond: he has been on the field this season, 54 percent of the snaps, and Zach Charbonnet has no snap on record yet. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size309 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kalif Raymond, and the board ranks him 108th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Zach Charbonnet, and the board ranks him 109th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Kalif Raymond's market-based projection is 6.5 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 100th highest figure of the 207 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Zach Charbonnet is 3.3 PPR points a game off 1 market across 9 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Zach Charbonnet's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 6
Through Week 6, Kalif Raymond has been on the field for 60 percent of CHI snaps, drawn 15 percent of the targets and had 5 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 9 of the offence's 51 third down targets, had 0 of its 31 chances inside the five and seen 2 of its 32 two minute targets.
His 29 targets have averaged 6.0 air yards.
In Week 4 against NYJ he caught 2 of 2 targets for 6 yards and did not score.
In Week 5 against GB he carried 1 time for -2 yards, caught 3 of 4 targets for 6 yards and did not score.
In Week 6 against ATL he caught 2 of 2 targets for 18 yards and did not score.
The usage feed holds no snap or target counts for Zach Charbonnet this season.
Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Kalif Raymond played 15 games and scored 66.8 PPR points, 4.5 a game, finishing WR94.
He caught 24 of 30 targets for 289 yards and 1 touchdown, with 2 red zone targets.
That came to 2.0 targets a game, a 80 percent catch rate and 12.0 yards a catch.
He was on the field for 38 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
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.

Zach Charbonnet was available for 1 game more.
Side by side
In 2025 Zach Charbonnet scored 11.3 PPR points a game and Kalif Raymond 4.5, 6.9 a game between them.
Kalif Raymond finished WR94 and Zach Charbonnet RB24, which are two different ladders.
Kalif Raymond 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
Kalif Raymond is off in Week 10 and Zach Charbonnet in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.
Zach Charbonnet is listed as pup on the injury report.
What would change the answer
Zach Charbonnet has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
