The Seattle Seahawks host the Green Bay Packers in a Sunday Night Football game with massive playoff implications.
The pregame narrative: The Seahawks need a win to stay ahead of the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West while the Packers aim to solidify their place as one of the conference’s top wild-card teams. I like Zach Charbonnet to be active in the receiving game.

Best Bet: Charbonnet over 29.5 receiving yards (-118)
Kenneth Walker III is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game after missing a full week of practice. If he can’t play, which seems likely, Charbonnet should feast.
Seattle’s RB2 took the lead role last weekend and exploded for 134 rushing yards and 59 receiving.
He was relatively quiet the few weeks before but has been a solid pass-catcher all season. Check out his numbers across 13 games:
- 2.7 receptions and 3.3 targets/game
- 20.3 receiving yards/game
- 25+ receiving yards five times
The second-year product out of UCLA has only cleared this line in three of 13 contests but we have to consider Walker’s workload.
Walker averages 3.8 catches, 4.5 targets, and 27.1 receiving yards per game. Those looks will be going Charbonnet’s way, who logged an 80% snap count last week with Walker sidelined.
Charbonnet averaged 35.3 receiving yards and cleared this total twice in three games without Walker this year. I like his chances of staying hot in a plus matchup.
Key stat: Green Bay allows the fourth-most receiving yards per game to RBs (43.5), per CBS Sports.
