Rookie Scouting Profile: Zach Charbonnet
FullTime Fantasy Rookie Scouting Profile: Zach Charbonnet (RB) Zach Charbonnet (RB) UCLA Height Weight 40-Time DOB NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 6-0 214 4.53 01/08/2001 Day 2 1.06 James Conner College Production Originally enrolled at Michigan after a stand-out career at Oaks Christian in Westlake Village, California. Charbonnet was named the Wolverines’ Offensive Rookie of the Year and was honorable-mention All Big-Ten after rushing for 726 yards and 11 scores as a freshman in 2019. Playing time dropped off significantly in 2020 behind Hassan Haskins, so Charbonnet transferred to UCLA. In his first season (2021) with the Bruins, Charbonnet racked up 226 touches and produced 1,334 scrimmage yards and 13 TDs en route to second-team All-Pac-12 honors. Followed that up with an even better senior campaign. Was promoted to all-conference first-team after leading the team with 1,359 rushing yards and snagging 37 passes in only 10 games in 2022. Strengths • Physical, inside runner who can move piles and is extremely underrated as a pass-catcher. Averaged 4.15 yards after contact per attempt and also boasted a top-10 PFF receiving grade. • Solid power back with plus ball security and short-yardage potential. • Performed well in Indianapolis, posting a 4.53 40 (70th percentile), 101.6 Speed Score (72nd), and 123.9 Burst Score (76th). • Good vision and decision-making. • High character and football IQ. • 91.5 overall PFF grade ranked fourth among all FBS running backs in 2022 Areas for Improvement • Has the size and willingness to develop in pass protection but needs a lot of work in that area to stay on the field in third-down passing situations. • Footwork can slip in traffic, which leads to hesitancy and could lead to too many stuffs in the A gap. • Does not offer superior speed when changing direction or coming out of cuts. • Lack of elusiveness and escapability. Fantasy Outlook It’s easy to see why Zach Charbonnet has been a favorite of the fantasy and scouting community for a while. He has ideal size and the potential to develop into a three-down option. He reminds me of James Conner, but others see a A.J. Dillon comps as a sizable back that can also catch well. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Charbonnet be the second back selected in 2022 as early as Round Two. If he slips into Round 3, his current 1.06 rookie ADP could slide. Depending on the landing spot, Charbonnet could be a solid redraft value as an RB4. Other Rookie Profiles Bijan Robinson Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jordan Addison Quentin Johnston Jahmyr Gibbs C.J.

Rookie Scouting Profile: Bryce Young
FullTime Fantasy Rookie Scouting Profile: Bryce Young (QB) Bryce Young (QB) Alabama Height Weight 40-Time DOB NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 5-10 204 4.52 07/25/2001 Top-2 2.01 Russell Wilson College Production A five-star recruit out of the fabled Mater Dei High in Santa Ana, California, where he earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors and was named the All-American Bowl Player of the Year. Young chose Alabama after de-committing from USC. Posted a 96.0 QB Rating in limited action playing behind Mac Jones as a freshman in 2020. In his first season as Alabama’s starter, Young won the Maxwell Award, Davey O’Brien Award, Manning Award, and won the Heisman Trophy after throwing for 4,821 yards and 47 scores. Followed that up with a svelte 32-to-5 TD-to-INT ratio and led the NCAA with a 91.3 passer grade from PFF. Strengths • Outstanding football IQ and poise. Young sees the entire field well and is well-versed in pro-style read progressions, route concepts, and how to exploit defenses. • Strong arm with excellent touch and accuracy. Ball placement is already pro-ready, as is his ability to throw his receivers open. • Able to consistently get the ball anywhere on the field. • Wasn’t asked to run a lot but is underrated as an athlete. • Immediate leader of men. Young leads by example and has a knack for being clutch. Unaffected by pressure and set example with calm, level-headed decision-making. • Led all FBS quarterbacks with a 91.3 passer grade (PFF) in 2022. Areas for Improvement • Undersized. Young would be one of the smallest starting NFL quarterbacks on record. That may cause some teams to be concerned about Young’s ability to withstand hits from bigger, faster NFL pass rushers. • Played in a pro-style system with deep and talented supporting cast at Alabama. Adjusting to a lesser NFL roster could lead to growing pains. • Needs to improve timing and ability to make immediate reads, especially if he is playing behind a lesser offensive line. • 9 3/4-inch hands are on the smaller size. • Minor shoulder injury in 2022 cost him one start. Fantasy Outlook There isn’t a lot of criticism of Bryce Young’s game. It’s all concerns about his (lack of) size. Young probably played at under 200 pounds throughout his college career. And it would be unprecedented for a quarterback that small to go in the first round of the NFL Draft. Still, Young is a clutch field general type with an NFL-caliber arm. He’s also underrated as a runner, which has drawn some comparisons to Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, and Kyler Murray. It is widely believed that Young will be one of the first two selections in this draft. That means he’s highly likely to be starting from Day One. There’s enough upside here to view Young as a solid QB2. Also, the floor is high enough that he warrants 1.02 consideration in Superflex leagues.
